Job's Right

With the Premiere Season of this new Australian comedy being so successful and audiencesi asking to see it again, Suncoast Repertory Theatre Inc and theatre s announce a return season of Job's Right. Nearly 1,000 people saw the initial performances in Nambour, Lake Kawana, Maleny and Noosa over the January holidays, some returning to watch the mayhem a second and third time at different venues. Many saying they would love to see it again; and others wanting to send family, friends and work colleagues to see a performance. Job’s Right has become the must-see show this year. It seems that people either wanted to see characters like themselves, or their family, on stage. So many tradesmen and their wives booked their tickets and got themselves to a theatre to see this Slice of Life play and thoroughly enjoyed the experience because Job’s Right is so real. The only thing missing was the dog in the ute! Director Simon Denver has worked closely with writer and actor Brett Klease to hone the script and actors into a tight, slick production that hardly pauses for breath once the play button is pressed. Audiencesi across the coast have laughed at the antics of the tradesmen on this work site, were dazed by the truth of the characterisation, and applauded the achievement in the writing, directing and acting of this production. Don’t miss the return of Job’s Right, book now for these extra performances. Ever wondered what goes on a job site? Ever wondered what your husband does on a job site? Ever wondered what happens on any of the 30,000 job sites in Australia on any given day? Job’s Right is truly a real slice of life. This play is about “Tradies”, this is their story – warts and all. During the play the politics, the prejudices, the humour, the viewpoints and the armchair expert opinion on all facets of life bubble along in that truly Australian medium of communication – banter. Sometimes it can fracture your funny bone and sometimes it will slap you in the face with its reality. It will frighten you and amuse you. It will shock you and, as a working house is constructed in front of your very eyes, it will amaze you. It’s an absolute must see. Be warned – this play contains a heavy level of language that could be deemed offensive and concepts that may offend. Just like real life! I don’t think that many, if any, blind people have ever found themselves being stalked and hunted by some psychotic nutbar. But there have been many successful plays based on this premise. Yet on 30,000 sites around Australia every day men enter that last bastion of the old patriarchal tribe system – the job site. And nothing has ever been written about this real life situation. Nothing…until now. You don’t have to know anything about tradesmen to see Job’s Right. Within twenty minutes you’ll have the whole run down on them all. It will become very obvious to you that all Plumbers are a law unto themselves, all Plasterers are stupid, all Chippies do is make a mess, Tilers are Prima Donnas, Sparkies are hated by everyone, all Brickies are mad and Concreters are as thick as the stuff they work with. It soon becomes obvious that the only decent and normal lot on a job site are the painters. After all, they are there to cover up all the other tradies messes and make them look good. Playwright and actor Brett Klease and director Simon Denver have combined to create a piece of theatre that is so true to life on a worksite that audiencesi in Nambour, Kawana and Maleny have been spellbound and coming back for more. Very funny, confronting and outrageous, Job’s Right contains everything a polite play shouldn’t: frequent very coarse language, drug use, sexual references and adult themes. Not for the faint-hearted. But if you’d love to know what goes on at any of the 30,000 construction sites around Australia, this is a play for you. Men kiss the wife and kids goodbye in the morning, drive off and enter the very abrupt and male world of a job site. They then drive home, kiss the wife and kids and sit down to a civilised dinner. Nothing is mentioned or discussed about the real workings of a job site – it’s taboo, secret blokes business. Job’s Right is truly a real slice of life. This play is about “Tradies”, this is their story – warts and all. During the play the politics, the prejudices, the humour, the viewpoints and the armchair expert opinion on all facets of life bubble along in that truly Australian medium of communication – banter. Sometimes it can fracture your funnybone and sometimes it will slap you in the face with its reality. It will frighten you and amuse you. It will shock you and, as a working house is constructed in front of your very eyes, it will amaze you. It’s an absolute must see. Be warned – this play contains a heavy level of language that could be deemed offensive and concepts that may offend. Just like real life!
