Melbourne Theatre Company
There’s a fervour in the revivalist tent, where Reverend Kevin of Rudd Ministries, in a sermon from the German translated via Mandarin, tells his congregation that religion is the new politics and vice versa.
Called up to testify, his guests, drawn from the Great and the Good, will each bear witness to the powerful spirit moving across this land.
Folly is his pińata. Max Gillies has been pricking pomp, slaughtering sacred cows and beating up bęte-noirs for decades. In Godzone his trail of destruction continues with a new cast of victims.
“Gillies is hilarious ... Rundle is daring and a risk taker, as all good satirists should be.”
