The Merger
Event description
Damian Callinan presents a tour de force performance in his acclaimed one-man live show, “The Merger” - now also an acclaimed film.
Centred around the Bodgy Creek township, the dysfunctional Roosters Footy Club is in trouble and will either have to fold or merge with their arch rivals - the Hudson’s Flat Cougars. But prodigal son coach Troy Carrington has other ideas; to save the club he embarks on a programme to recruit refugees and unwittingly takes the community on a journey of change.
Classed as one of the “country’s finest character comedians” (Herald Sun), Callinan plays every role with a nuanced deftness in this standout show presented by Hey Boss management and production.
Supported by Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund – an Australian Government initiative – “The Merger” tackles a diversity of themes ranging from racism to asylum seekers, through to community and sport (AFL).
This well crafted play is a “must-see” piece of entertainment – not to be missed!
