A soufflé might not rise twice, but this hit comedy will
The sermon on the mount returns to Sydney 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 we confront the wrongs of our past. This production from Soft Tread Enterprises captures Keating’s eviscerating Question Time wit and wraps it up in a Zegna suit.
With fresh takes on __Keating’__s recent media moments and zeitgeist zingers, no scumbag is safe in this show, not even our humble narrator.
1hr 30min. No Interval.

Wharf 1 Theatre is on Level 2 of The Wharf. The majority of patrons will enter via Doors 1 and 2 which can be reached most directly via the lift at the end of The Wharf. This provides level access from the exterior apron of The Wharf at Ground Level, right up to the Theatre on Level 2.
We also have a level access point to Wharf 1 Theatre through Door 3 for people seated in A row, which allows patrons to go directly into the theatre. Access to Door 3 is only on request and these requests should be made at the Box Office at the time of booking.
Level access to Level 1 is via any of the three lifts along the exterior of The Wharf. Each of these lifts can be accessed via ground floor, however the lift at the end of The Wharf provides the most direct access.
Please inform the Sydney Theatre Company Box Office at least 24 hours in advance to ensure they are able to assist your needs. Call on (02) 9250 1777 or email boxoffice@sydneytheatre.com.au.
