Get Gary

NEW AUSSIE GANGSTER COMEDY FOR NEWTOWN THEATRE There’s ‘under-belly-laughs’ aplenty when a new Aussie comedy premieres in Sydney next month. GET GARY, by award-winning Sydney playwright Rachel Musgrove and directed by Henry Jennings, is a hilarious dig at the more hapless end of the criminal underworld. It comes to Newtown Theatre for a four-week season from 17 August. Set in 1980s London, the play opens with Ollie and Steve planning to kidnap Gary, pocket the ransom money and set up a mobile dog grooming service. What could possibly go wrong? Everything in fact! In a hilarious turn of events, they kidnap Allan not Gary. And Allan is a whole new kettle of fish. Join these hopeless gangsters as they try plans A ,B ,C and then D. Throw in a head in a bag, tales of “Oompa Loompas”, carol singers and a minor celebrity and you have all the ingredients for a very funny night out. Directed by Henry Jennings, GET GARY stars Dan Balcaban, Pat Brennan, Mark Dessaix and Andy Leonard.
