The Last Tuesday Society: The Plagiarism Edition

Submitted by admin on Wed, 21/10/2009 - 16:12

After rocking the Melbourne Fringe Festival The Last Tuesday Society moves onto our next theatrical experiment: The Plagiarism Edition.

As Picasso said: 'talent borrows, genius steals'. With this in mind The Last Tuesday Society ring leaders, Bron and Richard, are goading their menagerie of performers into stealing other peoples' ideas, bits of schtick and material and pass it off as their own. It's low down and dirty but oh lordy, it's gonna be fun!

We live in a post modern era ladies and gentlemen, so come and watch as each act pays homage, appropriates, references or blatantly rips someone off (Just don’t invite any copyright lawyers).

Including the following thieves thus far:

The Suitcase Royale
The List Operators
Elbow Room
The Caravan of Love
Narelle Tolstoy (AKA Thomas Henning from the Black Lung)
Poet Laureate Telia Nevile
Anna Pocket Rocket
Bron Batten
Vic Healy
Amy Brossain

Others to be confirmed.

Hosted by that moustached marvel, Richard 'Dick Dastardly' Higgins

$8/$10. October 27 - 8pm sharp - Yah Yah's.

Craffle.
