Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player

27 April 2008

PERFORMANCE SPACE: MAIN STAGE

In collaboration with David Scheel for one night only!

An Hilarious Musical Journey in the company of one of the world’s most original musical satirists.

A brilliant mix of the classics, send-ups of the classics, and topical/social satire, Don't Shoot Me... features, among other things, a piece by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a piece by Bach, played at the same time, one with the right hand, the other with the left; a popular folk tune played in the styles of Mozart, Rachmaninoff, a Sony Walkman and blues, delicious comedy routines on anything from corporate sponsorship to supermarket culture, and, of course, David's "comedy classic", his translation of the lyrics of Waltzing Matilda.
Don't Shoot Me... saw David being dubbed the new Victor Borge very early on in his career, but pure music lovers will not be short-changed, for, when David starts to play a piece seriously, he actually finishes it!
