In Performing the Goat Producer/Playwright Darren Brealey delivers humorous and often terrifyingly accurate portrayals of stereotypical Australian characters in their ‘natural’ environments.

…Now step into the world of ‘The Mechanics’ and meet old school, ‘all knowing’ tradesman Norbert. He generously takes new kid Colin under his wing, tutoring him in the sacred arts of mechanic ethics and relationships. Too much amusement, great Australian grunter Colin proves he isn’t as stupid as appearances initially indicate…

The only real disappointment? Not a goat in sight.
