Dick Done Broke

Overview

When Donny wakes up after a big night out, he's cursed with a state everyone's been through at least once: a killer hangover. Alas, he's not just feeling a little worse for wear. He doesn't know where he is, and his physical side effects have extended to intimate parts of his body.

That's how Dick Done Broke begins, with its title giving away the source of some of Donny's frustrations. As for the rest — well, that's for you to discover when the one-man show makes its Australian premiere at the Brisbane Powerhouse.

Performed from a swinging platform and starring Adam Drake as Donny, the production contemplates fatherhood, sex and modern life in general from a working-class perspective. If it sounds both universal and specific, that's because it is. The tale and its themes are bound to strike a chord with everyone in the audience, all while springing from the mind of American actor, writer and director DJ Mendel.
