Bryan Dawe one of Australia’s finest political satirists will present A Satirist’s Journey – a highly amusing and at times poignant story in which we also meet Bryan’s two endearing characters: Roly Parks from Kalangadoo and the outrageous Sir Murray Rivers QC. In a hilarious interview “via satellite from Canberra”, Bryan interviews ‘Sir Murray Rivers’ (on screen).
This clever piece of multi-media illusion will have the audience in stitches, tracking Bryan Dawe’s own journey into satire. From the “grim educational pickings of working class Port Adelaide in the 1950’s and 60’s”, Bryan escaped high school at 15 and went on to write, direct and perform on radio, stage, film and television for over 35 years.
He is best known for his work with fellow satirist, John Clarke, and for his role with John Clarke and Gina Riley, in the much acclaimed ABC Television series ‘The Games’. Bryan has also appeared in various films including the hit Australian film ‘The Castle’.
