Intimate revue.
The first Phillip Street Theatre show not devised by the company's original creative team of McKellar, Donovan, and Mulcahy, Two for One is said to have been written by upwards of twenty people. Comprising six women and three men, the revue took aim at numerous local and international topics, including snob talk from the Randwick lawns; a couple of jaded octogenarian/ex-J. C. Williamson singers; a bunch of Borgias comparing notes on the effectiveness of thallium and sitting on circular saws; the Leaning Tower of Pisa; a city store proudly selling Eskimodes for Eskimodels; and Tasmanian actor Max Oldaker singing a song about his mania to go back to that state.
One of the highlights of the show was siad to have been a skit in which the foundations of the drama trust and Medea were discussed. The scene also involved a Greek chorus of damsels advertising a well-known brand of girdle with the manner of Euripedes, the language of a radio copy-writer, and complaints about the 'fittin'.'
