This adaption of Carlo Goldoni’s play 'Servant of Two Masters' is set in Brighton, England 1963 where cashed up cockneys rub shoulders with posh idiots in a no holds barred comedy of errors. Like all good rollercoasters, you’ll find the build to the hilarity is steep, the turns are rough and fast with the occasional expletive thrown around. Which is all a bit like the absurdity of human nature isn’t it? Those base emotional drivers that zip us from A to B, those impulses that send us on ridiculous quests built on fear and love.
“Love. Huh. It’s like being mad, innit?” - Pauline Clench, One Man, Two Guvnors, Act 1, Scene 3.

Wow!
I was lucky to attend part of a rehearsal of Scenes from the Climate Era on Sunday, and can promise you won't be disappointed with this performance!
Full of energy and drive - and I haven't stopped thinking about the content since.
The subject matter is obviously relevant to all ol us, but the way in which this is presented is fast-paced, taking you from one subject to another, and left me thinking that I really should explore a lot more about this very important topic.
Presented by a very talented local cast, this is definitely one to watch!
Three performances only on 25-27 July. Book now at the rondo.com.au/book
