A Commercial Farce (2011 - Tour)

By Peter Houghton

18 February 2011 – 19 February 2011 Theatre Royal

Malthouse Theatre,

Theatre Tour

Bill is an experienced theatre director on the verge of a nervous breakdown. With less than 24 hours until the curtain goes up, this production is unravelling fast. Enter Jules, the latest fresh-faced star of TV's Murder Squad. He's the name that's going to sell the tickets and without whom the show is doomed. But when Jules fails to comprehend the simplest of acting tasks (why he has to slip on the banana peel or remember his entrances), Bill's new mission becomes to painstakingly (and hilariously) teach his young pupil the very meaning of farce.

The dates above are for the Hobart season. This production also toured Victoria, NSW, ACT and Queensland.
