Australia Day

Australia Day: A day off work, an excuse to fire up the barbeque, an opportunity to drink copious amounts of beer and, most importantly, a celebration of our national identity... whatever that is.

For the members of the Australia Day committee in the small country town of Coriole, the issue of cultural identity is prickly to say the least. If they could agree on what kind of Australia they are celebrating, they might be able to tackle the really big questions: Does a sausage sizzle code as monocultural? And should the special needs kids be forced to perform their dance routine on the national day?

This wickedly funny new play from stalwart of political satire, Jonathan Biggins (The Wharf Revue), was inspired by his own experiences as an Australia Day Ambassador and will be realised by the comic genius of Director Richard Cottrell (Ying Tong).
