TILL 2nd MAT When SCOOP'S satire is directed the humour flows. The Culture Rally is an excellent example of a lampoon based on long and painful association with the object of derision. When this is followed by The Pointed Cue, a drama, no doubt is left to the question, "What ever became of satire"? It is in SCOOP. SCOOP is by now an institution. Every year for seven years, that is for seven years running, or for seven years all told altogether, SCOOP has been delivered by Loving middies in the Toowong pubs. There is but one golden rule for in cluding material in SCOOP. If the producer can truly answer 'Yes' to the question, Ms it questionable* then it's in. Sex Is there, of course, raising its ugly head. Both In verse and in skirts. Either way it's there. And it's enjoyable. Bob Greenwood dominates the production. He stars In it. He wrote it. He produced It. He is a veritable 'one-man band' complete with built-in bald spots and buck teeth. No man can do more. Whether he Is the indeflatible Rhamon or the massed Roman LegJon, he has a stage presence that is sheer delight. Ken Lord is also marvellous on stage. There should be more of him. He appears to be a bit confused. He suffers from a complex. He thinks he is Richard Burton. In the first half he's alright as he plays Hamlet. In the second half things go awry. He turns up as Caesar-mate! Shane Porteous is at his best as the Culture Rally Chair man and as Dean Baddeley. As a Redemptorist Priest he is not in the event. He suffers from the perenniel blight of heretics. The girls are passing pleasing. Janelle Harders and Wendy Sanders excell as Cleopatra's Handmaidens, Dybil and Sebbie. Hilary Skbien Is her cutting best as Lady Cilento. Roslyn O'Sullivan and Jane Kershaw come over well in Three Little Girls in Blue'. Jane is sheer delight with her poem. Pam Kin- loch has her opportunity In The Group. There are several embarrassing spots In the show. The opening is banal. Never have so many la-la's been so abused as in the opening. The end of Part One Close is dull. Attempts to re-write Gilbert and Sullivan can be fun. They can only be successful when 'played up'. Everybody In The Academikado moves like stuffed cucumbers. It makes for a poor close to an extremely enjoyable and amusing first half. The long introductions are often pointless and boring. No Revue Script should require explanations. It is up to the script writer to work all the necessary details Into the plot. Revue demands topicality. This SCOOP has. It requires verve and vigour. SCOOP provides both. It has intimacy in abundance SCOOP is running for an extended season this year having been sold out two nights before closing night last year. As a retreat after, or an escape from lectures SCOOP Is the perfect solution. If you can't find someone to take you. ask your mum. SCOOP will do her the world of good THte )^^^
