Pop Culture presents a double bill __________________________________________________ June 2nd - 5th at The Theatre Husk __________________________________________________ Produced & Directed by Jeremy Guzman and Lindsay Pritchard Starring Goff Ripoli and Andrew Brown Alex Broun's The Critic Karl 'The Axe' Anderton is the most powerful and scathing theatre critic in Sydney. The actors, directors and writers of the city walk lightly in his shadow all fearing a 'Grand Slam' from 'The Axe' - which could sound the death knell on their career. Producers and publicists fawn over him, hoping to flatter him in to a good review. But when Anderton delivers a second 'Grand Slam' to a young playwright, Alan Fisher, which results in the cancellation of his comeback play, Fisher believes the time has come to take matters into his own hands. Anderton has a secret... and when Alan discovers it, 'The Axe' will receive a 'Grand Slam' of his own. The Critic is more than 'the writer's revenge' - it is a provocative, funny and at times shocking exposé of theatre, theatre criticism and the media. At its heart is a deadly power play between two men, one with everything, and the other with nothing to lose. __________________________________________________ Starring Christopher Weinberg, Karla Silvey, Melinda Ruiz and Jackie Money No More Mr. Nice Guy | a short play by Peter D.
