Absurd tales of Aussie political history
A retelling of the most surreal moments in Australian Politics you’ve never heard before. From the only Communist Party member to be elected to parliament, the misadventure of Victoria’s ceremonial golden mace at a brothel, the love story of Mary Gilmore (featured on the $10 note) in a Paraguayan jungle socialist commune, to a single egg that gave birth to the AFP. This show will give you an all-new perspective on our shared political field and the characters found within it. After hearing our tales, you will not be the same.
A meeting of the minds between expert political educator and Youtuber David Cox and award-winning writer director Dean Lovatt. Combining each of their unique talents to bring a show that is equal parts style and substance. Thoroughly researched and joyously presented.
