The Government Inspector. Three men in brightly coloured shirts look at the phone the middle one is holding. A woman behind is peering over his shoulder to see too. They all look concerned.

Theatre review: The Government Inspector, Clubhouse Theatre, Townsville

A riotous Aussie adaptation of Gogol's classic work.

Roller Coaster. A dark stage has a backdrop of neon lights in the top right hand corner of the frame, saying 'Ocean Side Rolla Rama'. In a spotlight in the centre of the stage are two women, one wearing skates and multi-coloured socks has crashed to the ground. Behind her a commentator in a purple shirt with a headset mic is crouching and shouting - is she cheering or jeering? We don't know.
