The smash-hit comedy, The Gospel According to Paul, written by and starring one of Australia’s favourite performers, Jonathan Biggins as Paul Keating, returns to Playhouse, QPAC from October 19-24, 2021.*

Having sold out before it even opened in its original run, this funny, insightful and occasionally poignant portrait of the 24th Prime Minister of Australia is a must-see and immensely enjoyed by Keating himself.

Paul Keating was a visionary, reformer and rabble-rouser and - as he tells it - single-handedly shaped contemporary Australia.

Showcasing Keating's famous sledging, rich rhetoric and ego the size of Everest, The Gospel According to Paul distils Keating’s essence into 90 minutes, focusing on key biographical milestones, landmark political achievements and personal obsessions.

Regardless of political persuasion, this one-man show is essential viewing for those who love an acerbic wit. It shows the man who grew up in the tribe of the Labor Party and gained an education at the knee of Jack Lang, who treated economics as an art form and demanded we confront the wrongs of our colonial past.

Biggins’ performance as Keating is well known from the long-running Sydney Theatre Company success story The Wharf Revue. Beyond the canny impersonation, Biggins, like so many Australians, has long been fascinated by Keating and what Keating means to Australia.

Biggins asks the question – what can we learn today from this singular politician, and the momentous time in our country’s history he dominated?
