Overview

Death: we all have to face it one day or another and the way we do is the stuff true drama is made of. Barry Oakley, comic novelist and satiric playwright, tackles this toughest of topics in Music, which premieres at MTC this week.

Richard Piper, most known for his work on TV (City Homicide, CrashBurn) plays Jack, a man facing his proximate demise with little dignity but lots of booze and music. It’s the first play from Oakley in years and will likely be a bittersweet mix of honest emotion and irreverent comedy. It's directed by MTC’s associate director Aidan Fennessy and Piper will be joined on stage by fellow TV actors Janet Andrewartha, Paul English and Robert Menzies.

This tale of fractured relationships, inappropriate exuberance and tying up of messy loose ends will be MTC’s final offering for the 2012 season. Here’s to a grand send-off!
