Keateing's Republic
This play is “the play we had to have” to revitalise the Republic that Paul Keating envisaged as Prime Minister in 1992.
All the great quotes like “I want to do you slowly” are in there as the play engages in a comic tour de force of Paul Keating and the Republic.The only people who will be allowed into the theatre are those that sign a petition that will be sent to the Prime Minister demanding a Republic.
Paul Keating said of a Republic – “The Liberals don’t want a Republic, because they are too busy tugging the forelock to the British establishment”.
The play will be told with the assistance of Kerry, as he journeys through the life of Paul Keating. It includes quotes from the Liberals of past, like Robert Menzies – “I did but see her passing by but I will love her till I die”. To Keating this was the stuff of the Menzies Torpor where subservience to a hereditary title was more important than a French Republican Clock.
Don’t miss this hilarious and long overdue attempt to create a Republic in this country.

Feedback/Comments
A catalogue of Paul's greatest hits, but nothing novel for diehards.
great acting and good script very enjoyable
We enjoyed this trip down memory lane! Good cast and enjoyed the musical numbers!
Amazingly funny performance .. une pecteddinging performsnces very credible .
A story retold in a new and highly humorous way.
Great to remember the intellect, arrogance and wit of Keating through this time capsule performance. Well written and performed by quality cast. What fun it would have been to have Paul versus Abbott, Turnbull, Dutton, et al.
The show wqas a little disappointing with too many flat spots to give it a higher rating
Great show, fantastic acting/ singing performance
Enjoyed the show but very amateur. Guy who played Keating was good look alike and did a good job with the classic Keating jibes Script was good and managed to include all the important Keatingesqueness . Overall 3.5/5
KEATEING 's Republic is worth going if you enjoy his antics as the master of insults.
Funny and informative, excellent performances
