What does your show say about society today? Welcome to the age of terror, and the war on brain cells. A witty, cheeky parody of six conservative leaders and their intersecting destinies in the mad world of politics.
How does your show play with convention? Unconventionally, some characters are live on stage, while others interact with them, ‘live via satellite’ in this multimedia, world premiere for one night only. Amazingly, all six characters are played by mercurial mimic Helchild, who is also the writer, producer and director.
What’s the central premise of your show? Brace yourself for the firebrand musings of QLD politician Pauline Fartson. Be enthralled by Ex-Prime Minister Mr. Turdbull and his tragic magic show.

And be mesmerised by the political rants of US President Donald Blimp. As with our politics today, there are lots of surprises.
