A better person would grab a puppet.

Inspired by ye olde anger management Punch and Judy shows of the 19th century, writer/director Brent Thorpe and music director Billy O'Riordan have put together an adult pantomime that'll cure your modern woes. As Australian in taste as Vegemite and yum cha, this show blends burlesque, grotesque, vaudeville and political incorrectness to just the right, gooey consistency.
