…something more picturesque and tuneful, with exotique settings and catchy songs… something with a genuine appeal to the romantic longings of our audiences. You follow me?

This is musical comedy and wheatbelt Shakespeare rolled into one, bursting with sunlight and song, revelling in darkness, peopled with a rabble of broken-down vaudevillians, lingerie salesmen and war heroes.

The Man from Mukinupin is one of Australia’s great theatrical creations from one of our great poets and ratbags, Dorothy Hewett. In dusty Mukinupin, Jack Tuesday loves Polly Perkins and Polly loves Jack. But when night comes it’s Touch Of The Tar who tickles Jack’s drunken fancy. Through this double-Mukinupin, by day and night, Hewett gives us a twin vision of black and white Australia clinging together for all we’re worth.

Wesley Enoch and the great Kerry Walker muck up big time for this special 30th anniversary production of Hewett’s full-throated glorification of our dark side.
