The Gospel According to Paul
The Second Coming

Written and Performed by Jonathan Biggins
Directed by Aarne Neeme

A soufflé might not rise twice, but this hit comedy will!

The sermon on the mount returns to our stages for a victory lap as Jonathan Biggins – co-creator and star of The Wharf Revue and one of Australia’s favourite comic actors – transforms into the visionary, reformer and rabble-rouser, Paul Keating.

Exploring the former PM’s landmark political achievements and personal obsessions, The Gospel According to Paul takes the light on the hill and shines it on a man who grew up in the Labor Party at the knee of Jack Lang, approached economics as an artform, and demanded you confront the wrongs of your past. This production captures Keating’s eviscerating Question Time wit and wraps it up in a Zegna suit.
