Right Dishonourable
"Delivers the complex frisson that musical theatre strives for."
Michael Gilchrist, Theatreview
An outlandishly dystopian metropolis calls a snap election after a sex scandal forces the Prime Minister to step down. Contending for the top spot are a jaded Liberal idealist, an inexperienced Conservative with a domineering wife and a man with a gumboot on his head. This political satire poked fun at left and right wings alike and lampooned the democratic process itself.

I am tickled… thrilled… one can never have too many alternate realities going on… Can’t wait for the cast album.” -Vermin Supreme, US Presidential Candidate |
