A Theatre Recommendation For the Sydneysiders

I try not to talk about the theatre too much in these pages because it's an awfully specific part of my life. And because I don't talk about it often, I hope you'll know that I mean it when I say that if you are in Sydney, you should really go see this play ... Version 1.0's The Table of Knowledge.

It opened in Wollongong last year and, because I was anxious to see this company's work, I took the train out to see it. All the dialogue is taken from real transcripts surrounding an insane political scandal in Wollongong that one can hardly believe is true, and dramatized in a fascinating and kooky way. This company knows how to make interesting theatre.

Plus, it's at Carriageworks, which I have previous gone on record as saying is the coolest performance venue in Sydney.

I don't have any affiliation with Version 1.0 (the sum total of my dealings with them can be summed up here). I just think that it is a wild ride and a crazy fun show that I'm pretty sure you'll like if you are as rad as I think you are.
