GET IT LIVE - GET IT AT TRADES HALL ARTS, bringing class back into the class struggle . . .
----------------------------------------------------------- Terra Incognita presents MR PUNTILA & HIS MAN MAN MATTI ----------------------------------------------------------- Final performances - season must end July 26th A night of Brecht that is bound to bring a smile to your face. This cleverly crafted comedy plays with gentry and peasant alike. Brecht uses humour, music and a dash of cynicism to explore the irreconcilable differences between classes. Mr Puntila owns a sawmill, a Studebaker, a forest and 90 cows. If only he wasn't afflicted by "senseless bouts of sobriety". He deviates between being a nasty, inhumane capitalist pig who mistreats his workers when he is sober, to a reformed human being when he is drunk. It is his chauffeur Matti who bears the brunt of Puntila's sober and drunken outbursts and who must decide in the end whether to continue to be compromised by the Dr Jeckle and Mr Hyde performance of Puntila.

After years of blatantly lying to the Australian public "Honest" John has spun the furphy that he will actually be staying on in office beyond his 64th Birthday. The unsuspecting Australian public has, once again, taken his word as true . . . when, oh when will they learn? The Trades Hall Arts mob, with the assistance of sculptor Martin Moore, will be celebrating this much anticipated retirement and invite everybody glad to see the back of the little cretin to come and join us in the revelry. (No gold watches please) Martin Moore graduated from the Royal College of Arts (London) and has worked with Jim Hensons Creature Workshop, Spitting Image and the BBCs Walking With Cavemen. He has previously sculpted Jack Nicholson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Naomi Campbell and Elizabeth Windsor. He will be sculptor (of John Howard) on the Night.
