MKA: Bounty
Conservative Queensland meets the ancient Roman Empire.
Overview
Conservative Queensland meets the ancient Roman Empire in this epic piece of social satire from local theatremakers MKA. Set in an alternate version of 2013, Eric Gardiner's Bounty lampoons Queensland's ex-premier Campbell Newman and his battle with the state's bikie gangs, reimagining the politician as a dictatorial Roman emperor forcing criminals to fight against each other as gladiators in the ring. A treatise on vice, radicalisation and moral panic in Australian society, the production looks like just the right mix of incisive and absurd.
