The Fabulous Punch & Judy Show

Based on the puppet show first staged in 1832, The Fabulous Punch and Judy Show is a dark comedy inspired by burlesque, vaudeville and grotesque theatre. Local Sydney performance artist Brent Thorpe revives a classic tale in a no holds barred journey that unmasks what it means to be truly Australian. It is a work that makes Mr Punch proud as he unveils his political view of the world and takes action to make things right - even if that means slaying children, screwing maids and strangling poofters. It’s all in a day’s work. With Linda Calgaro, James Forbes, Sam Haft, Arky Michael, Lyn Pierse, Morgan Popely, William O'Riordan and Brent Thorpe. Directed by Anthony Skuse Musical Direction by William O'Riordan Choreography by Sam Chester Designed by Rita Carmody Lighting Design by Verity Hampson
