Co-creator and star of The Wharf Revue, Jonathan Biggins paints a target on one of Australia’s most compelling and enigmatic leaders in the smash hit comedy, The Gospel According to Paul.
Full of intelligence and wit, The Gospel According to Paul is a funny, insightful and poignant portrait of Paul Keating, the man that — as he tells it — single-handedly shaped contemporary Australia. Since its premiere in 2019, it has played to sold out houses across the country, attracting plaudits from audiences and critics alike.
Showcasing Keating’s eviscerating wit, rich rhetoric and ego the size of Everest, Jonathan distils down the essence of Keating — visionary, reformer, rabble-rouser, and the Bankstown boy who quickly realised that to get things done in political life it’s better to be needed than loved.
Wednesday, July 16 performance will include a post-show Q&A with Jonathan Biggins.
