THE WHARF REVUE *on screen*


 political satire, silliness and musical mayhem 


AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE PRESENTS

A SYDNEY THEATRE COMPANY PRODUCTION
 THE WHARF REVUE
*on screen*
  7pm Sat 22 Sept  |  1.30pm Sun 23 Sept 
 Bar open Sat night

BONUS: see the film, could win a trip to Sydney value $4600

Over 15 years and 21 shows, they’ve mercilessly mocked all the usual suspects. We’ve watched Howard Tampa with refugees, Rudd give pennies from Kevin, Gillard refuse to be lectured by “that man”, “that man” scrap the carbon tax, stop the boats and – um – get the budget back into surplus… But no one has been able to outplay, outwit or outlast The Wharf Revue. So, we’re throwing a party and everyone’s invited.

This year, The Wharf Revue will be a parade of past and present indignitaries – a who’s who of 21st century embarrassments, from the politicians to the celebrities – all skewered on the stake of seriously side-splitting satirical silliness and musical mayhem.

Who will make the cut? Who has the numbers in the caucus room? It’s anyone’s guess.

Written and created by Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott.
 Starring Amanda Bishop, Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott.

Remarkably timeless… captivating
THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

Matthew Lutton is one of the most exhilarating directors in Australia today
THE MUSIC

Gow balances epic forces— dark and light, life and death, rage and forgiveness— elegantly and even delicately… In a way that is unsentimental, true, funny, affectionate and wise.

The Dapto Chaser: Australian comedy *on screen* 15-16 SEPT 2018


On screen 
7pm Sat 15 Sept  
 1.30pm Sun 16 Sept  

The Dapto Chaser is warts-and-all Australian comedy that gets its hands dirty with the adrenaline, sweat and guts of the dog racing sub-culture.

The Sinclairs are a family trapped in the pressure cooker of gambling addiction. When things don’t go to plan, they are forced to gamble the most important commodity of all – their relationship to each other. Surprisingly tender and gripping in equal parts, prepare for memorable performances filmed live in the historical Griffin Theatre where Mel Gibson and Cate Blanchett trod the boards. Woof!

See in cinema to be in the draw to win a trip to Sydney & show value $4600
