Comments on Keating!
Our current production Keating! seems to be drawing some interesting comments, some beyond the strictly theatrical. Although there hasn’t been a review in the local paper yet (hello, anyone home?), there has been some interesting talk on-line.
This one in the Tasmanian Times makes some interesting points.
Scott Farrow talking to Michael Veitch on ABC Local Radio (thanks ABC).
Here is the Australian Stage review.
I’ll add more when I get the time (the show keeps me rather busy).
“Keating! The musical we had to have.” … now on ABC Local Radio
Thanks to the ABC for taking the high ground and now allowing Keating! to be mentioned on local radio.
Scott Farrow will be on ABC Local Radio 936 tomorrow (Monday, 1st March) at 2:30 talking to Michael Veitch!
Excellent result!
Also, Craig will be interviewed tonight (Sunday, 28th February) at 9:50pm on Joy, the Melbourne Gay and Lesbian radio station. You can listen on-line by clicking here, and you can find out more here.
And if you feel passionate about how some Senators have abused their power, you can always write to the Mercury.
And a quick message to the ABC saying how much we appreciate them wouldn’t hurt.

Barbecue
Life member Daryl Peebles is directing a production of his play Barbecue over at Hobart Rep, a play that premiered with Old Nick in 1998. The season opens tonight (7 August), and the preview I saw was a show that not only had something to say about the egalitarian nature of outside cooking, but was just plain funny.
Well worth a look.
