'If it's political satire you want, The
Wharf Revue is the place to get it.'
Time Out
Sydney Theatre Company and
Bank of America Merrill Lynch present
THE WHARF REVUE 2013
Written and created by
Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott
Their mission, should they choose to accept it: make Australia's
political landscape funnier than it already is.
The mighty and the ridiculous will duck for cover as The
Wharf Revue team swoops in for another go at poking
politics and popular culture in the eye with its carefully
sharpened satire stick.
Written by Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott,
The Wharf Revue has been a Sydney institution for more
than a decade, attracting a large and loyal band of fans over the
years, including journalist/commentator Bob Ellis, who describes
the show as a 'vast exuberant soul-altering experience'. Even those
at the pointy end of the stick are known to sneak in to the
audience.
They sing, they dance, they wear ridiculous costumes and
sometimes even speak in tongues, all in glorious service of
the comic cause.
If the looming federal election fails to go your way you can
depend on one good news story: the provision of plenty of new
material for these talented satirists.
