Fast-paced comedy from Monty Python alumni
Chris Thomas
A script from Monty Python's Eric Idle is the latest offering from Phoenix

manners to the stage.
Directed by Peter Nettleton, Pass The Butler is set in mid-1980s England and
revolves around the Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party who suffers a
heart attack during a vigorous parliamentary debate.
His family has to decide whether they should switch off his life-support
while considering all the legal, moral, political and possibly
constitutional ramifications.
Pass The Butler plays at 8pm, August 12, 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21 with a 2pm
matinee on August 15.
Tickets are $20 adults, $15 concession - book on 0450 158 851,

Street within the Hamilton Hill Memorial Hall.
