Last season’s smash hit returning in 2020! One of Australia’s
favourite performers, Jonathan Biggins, is Paul Keating – visionary,
reformer and rabble-rouser – in The Gospel According to Paul. Full
of intelligence and wit, The Gospel According to Paul is a funny,
insightful and occasionally poignant portrait of Paul Keating. the man
that – as he tells it – single-handedly shaped contemporary
Australia. Jonathan Biggins’ performance as Paul Keating is well
known from the long-running Sydney Theatre Company success story, The
Wharf Revue. Beyond the canny impersonation, Jonathan, like so many
Australians, has long been fascinated by Keating and what Keating
means to Australia. Showcasing his eviscerating wit, rich rhetoric and
ego the size of Everest, The Gospel According to Paul distils
Keating’s essence into 75 minutes, focussing on key biographical
milestones, landmark political achievements and personal obsessions.
It shows the man who grew up in the tribe of the Labor Party and
gained an education at the knee of Jack Lang, who treated economics as
an art form, and demanded we confront the wrongs of our colonial past.
