What's On

The Gospel According to Paul
 

After critically acclaimed sell-out seasons across the country, the sermon on the mount returns for a victory lap - including hot new takes on today’s world - as Jonathan Biggins transforms into the visionary, reformer and rabble-rouser, Paul Keating. This unmissable political satire is showing at Riverside Live at PHIVE from 2 – 6 September. 

Exploring the former PM’s landmark political achievements and personal obsessions, The Gospel According to Paul takes the light on the hill and shines it on a man who grew up in the Labor Party at the knee of Jack Lang, approached economics as an artform, and demanded we confront the wrongs of our past. This production captures Keating’s eviscerating Question Time wit and wraps it up in a Zegna suit. 

With acerbic updates on everything from AUKUS to negative gearing, to the rise of Pauline and the demise of the Liberal party, this up-to-the minute version of Biggins’ celebrated show returns for a final hurrah and is not to be missed.

    Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.

    Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.

    Following the unedifying edict that "there's a sucker born every minute", the show skewers the modern self-improvement economy in a piss-take parody of today's 'gurus' and snake-oil salesmen.
