Scourge of the right

Lyall Brooks gets in character. 178199 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

A darkly comical take on conservative politics is heading for the Drum Theatre stage.
Actor Lyall Brooks will bring their slogans, mannerisms and headlines to Dandenong in A Prudent Man on Thursday 22 March.
The award-winning political thriller asks what it means to be right and takes inspiration from Donald Trump, Pauline Hanson and Tony Abbott.
It aims to start conversations about the treatment of women and refugees and what it means to be Australian.
Drum Theatre is at the corner of Lonsdale and Walker streets, Dandenong.
The show will start at 7pm and run for 180 minutes, including interval.
Tickets are priced from $23 and are available from www.drumtheatre.com.au or 8571 1666.
The Drum Theatre cafe bar is offering one free pre-show drink to ticket-holders from 6pm.
