The Wharf Revue sold out season after season for the Sydney Theatre Company and now forty timeless sketches are available for performance for first time.
Over 20 years Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott have plundered all forms of theatrical entertainment from broad slapstick to high drama, from farce to Shakespeare, Gilbert and Sullivan to Rodgers and Hammerstein, from the theatre of the absurd to film noir, from grand opera to rap.
A rich variety of monologues, duologues, sketches, and satirical songs are published and can be selected to suit your cast's talents and audience's taste.
