Magic Diamond Jack - Standing at the Crossroads

Cabaret • Magic

New South Wales • World Premiere

A comedy musical cabaret theatre show about unfunny stuff. Live blues music, sleight of hand illusion, puppetry, and commedia del'arte inspired clowning routines are woven together in a narrative monologue about infidelity and domestic abuse that describes the breakdown of a loving relationship and ponders common myths such as: “What makes a sweet guy turn so mean?” And asks: “Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?"

Sydney based performer Frank Ozo is a veteran of the ‘ozzy new circus’ era that originated in Adelaide in the 70’s. He is one of the few remaining travelling all-rounders who were a ‘dime a dozen’ in the old days but are getting hard to find now. "I dropped out of Uni and couldn’t fall back on a proper job. I’m a typical boomer, still hogging the lime light."
