You Can't Escape an Aussie Boy

 
Richard Beck Review by Richard Beck 2 Published: 19 Aug 2024 C ARTS | C venues | C aurora Show Dates: 31 Jul 2024-25 Aug 2024

Hailed by the company as ‘loud, obnoxious and darkly humorous’, one is left wondering what happened to those elements in You Can’t Escape an Aussie Boy. The three-man play tells the woeful tale of Marydale Tigers Football Club and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that arises when the wholly unqualified lads stumble across a chance to revive their ‘jockstain’ of a footy club, making themselves rich into the bargain. All they lack is experience and knowledge.

Some entertaining Aussie vocabulary, expressions and imagery

The plot sounds appealing and the cast clearly have performance skills; it just isn’t a particularly gripping storyline, though they come out with some entertaining Aussie vocabulary, expressions and imagery.

The Blurb:

'Being President of a footy club is pretty straightforward, right? Sign the best players, sell more beer, and try not to burn it all to the ground!' A loud, obnoxious and darkly humorous dive into the bravado, insecurity and ego of an Aussie Boy's mind, and the intoxicating lust for glory and power they find within the sacred walls of Marydale Tigers Football Club. In a world where it seems any idiot can be president, Dan, Stephen and Tim discover that they might just be the wrong idiots to put in charge.
