New Theatre Production - THE SENATE OF OZ!
The Senate Of OZ (2012)
A charming tautological tale based on the popular shenanigans of CASA, ATSB and ASA. The Skull and his new friend Beaker are caught in an “aviation tornado's” path and somehow end up in the land of the Senate. Here they meet some memorable friends and foes on their journey to meet the Senate of Oz who everyone says can help return Australian aviation back into a safe and robust environment and possibly grant the industry their goals of a safe, fair, compliant and transparent industry.
Skull lives in an ecological ‘green’ building in the city of Brisbane until a political tornado arrives, and picks up him, his upper echelon, and Beaker and deposits them in the Senate of Oz. Things in Oz are strange, men in dark suits called Senators ask many questions, they delve beneath the pony pooh. At times they are angry, other times they are humorous, but they want truthful answers to their robust questions. But Skull just wants to get back home. He's helped by the Voodoo Witch Doctor of the South, but he's also in trouble with the former Wicked Deputy CEO of the West, who seeks revenge for being pineappled from his position not long after the Skull commenced his tenure. The blame game is immense with many former colleagues who have been used as pawns over a number of years fighting for revenge.
When a nasty Senator tries to have Beaker put to pasture, Skull takes his pal Beaker and attempts to run away from the Senators, feigning memory loss and taking things on ‘notice’. The tornado appears and carries them to the magical Senate of Oz. But they are not impressed. There are no troughs, business class seats, bonuses or lobster and truffles. No, all they receive is a desk, jug of water and multiple pineapples. Wishing to return, Skull begins to travel to Norfolk City where a great wizard called Flyingfiend lives. On his way he meets a Deputy Director who needs a brain, a Regional Field Office Manager who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Minister who desperately needs courage. They all hope the Senate of Oz won’t notice them, before the forces of ICAO and FAA catches up with them.
