Jack Of Two Trades
Based on the surprisingly relevant, classic comedy by Carlo Goldoni, Jack of Two Trades is a brand new, fast paced, laugh out loud musical comedy full of soaring melodies, mistaken identities, disguises, trickery, declarations of love, and everyone’s favourite F-words: Fighting, farting, fornicating, foolishness, a whole lot of food… and even some feelings. Awww!
This production is the first year of the Jeanne Pratt Artists in Residence Program at the Monash Centre for Theatre and Performance. This new Australian musical work has been created by Lucy O’Brien (composer), Andrew Strano (book writer and lyricist), and features a cast of student and professional performers directed by Nathan Gilkes.

Along with a 9 piece band directed by Dominic Woodhead, Jack of Two Trades is your chance to see an exciting brand new work-in-progress.

Feedback/Comments
It was a work in progress, more needed on the succinctness of the storyline. Good casting.
Enjoyed the music and story line.
Thought some of the language was too strong and I didn't see how it it added to the story.
It was exciting to be one of the first audiences to be treated to new musical. A modern send-up of an 18th century classic, with some late 20th century nostalgia. It will be very interesting to see what form it may ultimately take as further creative forces are applied.
What a great show! We really enjoyed it.
A work in progress that will polish up nicely. Very humorous with great band.
Bright and lovely. Lots of energy!
