Australia Day by Jonathan Biggins at Athenaeum Theatre

Written and directed by acclaimed playwright and Sydney Theatre Company satirist Jonathan Biggins, Australia Day returns to Melbourne in a brand new production.The Australia Day committee is gearing up to put on the town’s biggest party – but they have a few issues of their own to sort out first. With everyone from the Greens to the local mayor to the CWA wanting a piece of the party pie, it’s proving hard yakka to work out what an Aussie celebration should look like. Nothing is sacred as the national identity is put through the wringer in this thoroughly modern ripper of a comedy!
