World Premiere
OLD JACK meets Banjo Paterson
Theatre
/ Spoken Word
SA
Ever since he was a wee lad OLD JACK, the Aussie Gleeman, has admired and
enjoyed the poems of Andrew Barton (Banjo) Paterson. Who hasn't? For
almost as long he has tried to write some of his own, telling his stories
in a similar rollicking style, and in the process discovering a lot of
fun. Now you too can share the fun.
Here you will meet again and find new enjoyment in long-term Paterson favourites, as well as some of OLD JACK's own specialties in similar vein, with some good old bush philosophy and yarns thrown in. In total - wit, wisdom and whimsy.
Plus, as a special Fringe bonus, a glass of wine, a few nibbles and some country-style audience participation.
