Revue.

Intended as an experiment over three Friday nights in May 1959, the production commenced at 11.30pm on each of those evenings, and was extended to eight performances due to popular demand. The focus of the revue was largely directed towards theatrical enterprises and identities, thus appealing to many within the Melbourne theatre industry.

The sketches and songs presented (as identified in the programme) were:

  • 1.'Overture'
  • 2. 'Theatre Guide' (Brian)
  • 3. 'That Certain Business'
  • 4. 'Expresso for Two'
