Full of intelligence and wit, this is a funny, insightful and occasionally poignant portrait of Paul Keating the man that - as he tells it – single-handedly shaped contemporary Australia.

Jonathan Biggins’ performance as Keating is well known from the long-running Sydney Theatre Company success story, The Wharf Revue.  Beyond the canny impersonation, Jonathan, like many Australians, has long been fascinated by Keating and what he means to Australia.

Showcasing his wit, rich rhetoric and an ego the size of Everest, the comedy focuses on Keating’s key biographical milestones, landmark political achievements and personal obsessions. 

Biggins asks the question - what can we learn today from this singular politician, and the momentous time in our country’s history he dominated?

March 23 sees the world famous flying Fruit Fly Circus take centre stage at TRECC.  Their production, JUNK,  takes you on a journey back to a time when the neighbourhood street was a playground full of adventure and make believe.

An ordinary boy, dressed head-to-toe in contemporary safety gear, discovers an abandoned junkyard inhabited by a gang of wild-at-heart kids. With boundless enthusiasm the group urge him to play as children once did: without inhibition and free from adult supervision.   

Propelled by a cast of talented young performers, this vibrant take on childhood tumbles headfirst into a world of play and imagination through circus skills, acrobatics and beautiful shadow puppetry, creating a sense of nostalgia for a time when young people were encouraged to take risks and weren't wrapped in cotton wool.

Inspired by childhood stories told to them by elderly residents of regional Australia, the young artists of the world-famous Flying Fruit Fly Circus will move and inspire you with their breath-taking artistry.
