The Gospel According to Paul
 

Written and performed by Jonathan Biggins

Co-creator and star of The Wharf Revue, Jonathan Biggins targets one of Australia’s most compelling and enigmatic leaders in this unmissable one-man comedy.

Full of intelligence and wit, it’s a funny, insightful and occasionally poignant portrait of Paul Keating, the man that (as he tells it) single-handedly shaped contemporary Australia.

Showcasing Keating’s eviscerating wit, rich rhetoric and ego the size of Everest, Jonathan distils down the essence of Keating - visionary, reformer, rabble-rouser, true believer – and the Bankstown boy who quickly realised that to get things done in political life it’s better to be needed than loved.

“In all my years performing The Wharf Revue, one character remained a constant favourite of the audience: Paul Keating. I can’t think of a more entertaining or significant figure in recent Australia histiory with whom to spend an evening. All iceberg, no tip.”
Jonathan Biggins

“Biggins almost out-Keaters Keating... If only we had people this clever running the country.”
Crikey

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
