A Soft Tread production
The Wharf Revue: LOOKING FOR ALBANESE
Created and written by Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott
Performed by Jonathan Biggins, Mandy Bishop, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott
It’s a new dawn, a new day, and a new captain at the helm of the ship of state. And what a state we’re in!
Inflation, rising interest rates, conflict in Ukraine, climate disaster, culture wars, COVID 19-20-21-22-23, and a looming World War Three… Could things get any worse? Absolutely! Neighbours has finished!
But here’s one way to make things better: book your tickets to the Wharf Revue's Looking for Albanese.
Inspired by the new national spirit of optimism that lasted for a week, the team are as keen as mustard to tackle the big-picture issues (see above).
The world is grim - what better time to have a laugh?
