Gibbs Calls for Tech Killings

Geoff Gibbs slams a current Blue Room production:

"Jacquie Reid in her one woman show Crime! The Musical survived one of the most devastating first nights I have ever witnessed."

"Had she shot the sound technician, murdered the director, dismembered the designer and garrotted the lighting operator everyone in the audience would have defended her action as justifiable."

In between taking shots at practically everyone involved in the production, Gibbs does find time to compliment Reid's performance as "a significant addition to Australian cabaret repertoire by an exceptional woman."

...then we take Berlin....

I must add my favourite Peter-Fry-ism:

"Peter, what did you think of that musical?"
"I came out humming the set..."

or in a similarly jocular/jugular vein:
"I didn't like the show but I saw it under adverse conditions: the curtain was up."
"Well, I've had a splendid evening, but this wasn't it..."

et al.....
