Ying Tong - A Walk with the Goons
Season runs from 23 June - 28 July 2007 at the Arts Centre Playhouse.
Previews commence 20 June 2007.
Four of Australia's major actor-comedians, Mo Award-winner Jonathan Biggins, Tony Harvey (The Lion King), David James (Bell Shakespeare Company) and Geoff Kelso (The Gillies Report) illuminate YING TONG - A WALK WITH THE GOONS, an exploration inside the mind and twisted logic of comic genius Spike Milligan.
With YING TONG, playwright Roy Smiles examines the anguish of Milligan's lifetime fight against mental illness, alongside sketches that celebrate the spirit and anarchy of the classic 1950s radio comedy series, The Goons.
In Goon-style extracts, favourite characters - amongst them super-stupid Eccles, gullible Seagoon, boy scout Blue Bottle and flatulent BloodNok - appear, in stark contrast to the increasingly poignant episodes of Milligan, alone with his demons, against the backdrop of a psychiatric hospital.
Under pressure to write The Goon Show to end all Goon shows, Spike Milligan (Geoff Kelso) is planning his escape from a mental institution dressed only in his pyjamas. After applying to the British Museum to get his marbles back, he starts to lose his grip on reality and threatens to kill Eccles, the most famous Goon character. Will his partners in Goon, Harry Secombe (David James) and Peter Sellers (Jonathan Biggins), be able to stop him?
Milligan's Goon collaboration with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe redefined comedy for a generation. His irreverent and subversive humour has influenced the canon of modern British cult comedy, from Monty Python to Little Britain.
