KEATING
Keating, the musical!
If ever a politician was a contrast of stereotypes – “He da man!”
From Bankstown fibro to Eastern suburbs grandeur. Double breasted Amani was his signature – but he still had a passion for equity and the underdogs. Keating paved the way for Reconciliation and helped to keep some of the bastards honest.
From beginning to end, Keating the musical is a hoot – his colleague Prime Ministers are fair game and provide a rich backdrop for this hysterical version of Australian political history. I will always see Mr Downer in fishnet stockings and Dr John …. not sure about him!?
Clever staging – the band’s role in the show was really interesting the way they moved between players and conscience like a chorus in a Greek tragedy.
Enjoy!
