FRESH FROM LAST YEAR'S SELLOUT OF MACBETH: THE CONTEMPORARY ROCK OPERA AT QPAC COMES THE LATEST FROM HOME-GROWN SUCCESS STORY DI GOUGH PRODUCTIONS, BRAVE NEW WORLD ORDER!
Written by CLARRY EVANS (Macbeth: the Contemp. Rock Opera / Boadicea – the Celtic Opera / Live at the Trocodero) and BRETT HEATH (Live at the Troc), the serious rock comedy returns to kick a few more heads at the Powerhouse Visy Theatre from 2 -12 JUNE.
The show which last time took shots at the Iraq invasion and the corporatisation of our culture, this time lines up climate change deniers and the geniuses responsible for the global financial crisis. PART MUSICAL COMEDY, PART CABARET, PART REALITY TV KITCHEN SHOW, BNWO IS SOMETHING TRULY UNIQUE.
AND WHAT A CAST!!!
STEVEN GRIVES is Master Chef Connor Comstock; CANDICE LEASK (guest role on Sea Patrol) is emo futures trader Ophelia; VANJA MATULA (Matilda Nominee) is playboy prince, Hamlet Pucker; CHRIS HERDEN is the white-shoe wearing property developer, Claudius Pucker; ALICE BARBERY is the socialite on a mission, Gertrude Pucker; NOEL SHERIDAN is versatile corporate lawyer and mini submarine pilot, Horatio; RACHEL BURKE is breakfast radio celebrity wannabe, Rosey Gee; and the brilliant WARWICK COMBER is Big Ron Pucker, the CEO who has been to the other side and come back to tell us what he found there.
Backed by a 4-piece rock band lead by guitarist, NIGEL KIMBER of the DUSTBIN HOFFMANS, BNWO is BRAVER! NEWER! NASTIER! HOTTER! and NOT TO BE MISSED!
