"UNMISSABLE!" - Ellie Court, The Mercury
Celebrate the silly season early with the greatest story ever told – as you’ve never seen it told before…
Desmond Dingle and Raymond Box have a plan – no, a “vision”!
In the comic tradition of The Goons and Monty Python, these two rather over-ambitious amateur thespians set themsel...ves the challenge of recreating the starry, splendid night of Jesus’ birth - on their own, with a cast of two, a management-resistant opera singer and very little else.
Assuming the roles of Mary, Joseph, Herod, the Archangel Gabriel, the Three Wise Men (yes, all of them), Caesar, a small cluster of farm animals, God and everyone in between, Desmond and Raymond trip, slip, giggle and bluff their way through this laugh-a-minute epic on a shoestring.
Starring Tasmanian performers Guy Hooper and Iain Lang, The Messiah is a rib-tickling night out of truly Biblical proportions.
Prepare-Ye to laugh!

REVIEW - "The Mercury" By Ellie Court 07/11/2009 In Patrick Barlow’s recreation of The Greatest Story Ever Told, director Charles Parkinson offers us the perfect antidote to what has been a testing year for everyone: an evening of eye-watering, side-splitting, leg-crossing theatricality. ...
