Disco: TheVinyl Solution is a biting comedy show aboutmusic, dance, and popular culture.Hilarious, informed and scathing, it’sbasically the ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ ofelectronic dance music.Taking in hip hop, disco and partnerdancing, clubbing, white supremacy anddrunken street violence, Disco elegantlyand articulately concludes that the world’sbeen going to hell in a handbasket since westopped touching each other on the dancefloor.Appeals particularly to anyone whosuspects that ‘modern music’ is ‘crap’, but“Pick of the Festival. This show fulfils all my ha-ha criteria. Impeccably written. Go see FionaScott-Norman who is far, far funnier than a writer should be.” Helen Razer, The Age“Brilliant, full of witty similes and mordant cultural reference.” Cameron Woodhead, The Age“It’s the perfect balance between topical prose and comedy.” Taryn Pollock, ArtsHubplease join us in the foyer after the show for more disco actionperformed byFiona Scott-Normandirected byTim Ferguson(from Don’t Forget YourToothbrush and DougAnthony All Stars)mandurah performing arts centre23
