Description
A Prudent ManIt’s politics, stupid…
A Melbourne Fringe Festival Show not to be missed!
Written & Directed by KATY WARNER
Performed by LYALL BROOKS
Presented by LAB KELPIE
A conservative politician, a leader, a man in a snappy suit, an athlete in a bad tracksuit. Meet A Prudent Man - an amalgamation of the right-wing politician that haunts us all.
Written and directed by Katy Warner and performed by Lyall Brooks, A Prudent Man takes an unapologetic look at a man in control of everything on the edge.
A darkly comic mixture of the Howard’s, the Abbott’s, the Cameron’s and the Thatcher’s of the world, A Prudent Man looks at what it means to be a decent human being, and what it means to be right - in more ways than one.
What makes the Cory Bernardi’s and Pauline Hanson’s of this world tick? What would happen if their world started to shift ever so slightly?
Writer and director Katy Warner returns to Melbourne Fringe having won the 2015 Melbourne Fringe Award for Best Kids Show for her Green Room Nominated play Reasons to Stay Inside.
