Hammering the drunk

KIRBY J: I just think "drunk" is a label and I am a little worried about - it is not necessary to put that label. It is just that they were sufficiently affected by alcohol to affect their capacity to drive.

MR JACKSON: Yes.

KIRBY J: "A drunk" has all sorts of baggage with it.

HAYNE J: Perhaps "hammered" is the more modern expression, Mr Jackson, or "well and truly hammered".

MR JACKSON: I am indebted to your Honour.

KIRBY J: I do not know any of these expressions.

McHUGH J: No, no. Justice Hayne must live a very different life to the sort of life we lead.

KIRBY J: I have never heard that word "hammered" before, never. Not before this very minute.

The Importance of Being Earnest

The Production
Ridiculusmus has devised a farcical version of Oscar Wilde’s most famous play, The Importance of Being Earnest, in which two actors portray the entire cast aided only by much cross-dressing and the occasional hand puppet. With cunningly precise direction by Jude Kelly, this is an interpretation that’s so flamboyant and full of Wildean wit that there’s no doubt Wilde would have loved it.

The multiple roles, which rely on an absurdist, almost schizoid performance style, are heralded by a cacophony of music genres ranging from 80s pop to nursery rhymes and Wagnerian opera – all played against a garishly kitsch Victoriana set. Toying with the ideas of performance that underlie Wilde’s dissection of 19th century British high-society, Ridiculusmus ultimately unmasks the roles that social hierarchy and status dictate.

情人的眼淚

為什麼要對你掉眼淚
你難道不明白是為了愛
只有那有情人眼淚最珍貴
一顆顆眼淚都是愛 都是愛

為什麼要對你掉眼淚
你難道不明白是為了愛
要不是有情郎跟我要分開
我眼淚不會掉下來 掉下來

好春常在 春花正開
你怎捨得說再會
我在深閨 望穿秋水
你不要忘了我情深 深如海

為什麼要對你掉眼淚
你難道不明白是為了愛
要不是有情郎跟我要分開
我眼淚不會掉下來 掉下來

我眼淚不會掉下來 掉下來
