A TRIBUTE OF SORTS

$9.05

Oddball teen cousins Ivan and Juniper Plank are putting together a glitzy variety show chronicling the series of extremely unfortunate events that led to the demise of 26 infants. It's a tribute ... of sorts.

Welcome to a weird, warped eisteddfod, where this endearing pair lead you on a brilliantly inventive, wickedly funny journey – in strict alphabetical order, of course – through the short lives of these doomed infants.

The gothic quirkiness of Tim Burton meets the adorable kitsch of Wes Anderson in A Tribute of Sorts. An artful, dark, morbidly funny celebration of the art of theatre itself.

Winner of 4 Matilda Awards including: Best New Australian Work, Best Independent Production, Best Male Actor (Dash Kruck) and Best Female Actor (Emily Burton).

EXTRACT: I hope to one day reach my peak, I hope we can live long, I hope that he is uncircumcised, I hope to time travel, I hope to learn Cantonese, I hope to invest in high-density real estate, I hope to swim for a full day, I hope that, I hope that./ Another thing was the time we opened a few cans of chickpeas. Ivan was stronger but pushed the cutter too hard. He cut the top off his left pinkie./ (She shows a small jar with something floating in it.) Here. See. Back to it.

REVIEW: A TRIBUTE OF SORTS

SAM COWARD, XS ENTERTAINMENT, 29 OCTOBER 2012

"A Tribute of Sorts is richly dark, irreverent and piss funny. You’ll love it and then hang your head in shame for laughing so hard!"
