Previous Performance Reviews:

 

“… What gives Dutch Courage its emotional density is Sean Peter’s music and lyrics with songs of satiric bite heart catching pathos, and sometimes searing power”.

The Bulletin, February 25 1997

 

“… Barry Lowe’s Book and Sean Peter’s wonderful songs, and even more wonderful lyrics deliver a poignant and pungent instrument for seven very good actors to create widely varied multiple roles… This quite simply is a devastatingly brilliant new show of potentially world class.  Touring and film possibilities are limitless.  This is a thought provoking and superb show which should not be missed.

 Adelaide Messenger, February 19, 1997

 

“… judiciously mixes comedy, music and drama with some homoeroticism for good measure.  It presents a unique view about surviving as a homosexual in a world where Gypsies, Jews, blacks and gays lived in fear of extermination.  Dutch Courage  succeeds in treating these issues with a good deal of sensitivity while being a riot in poor taste for most of the rest of the night … the lyrics are often wonderful and the play hits some telling chords.  The music, partially pre recorded, never falters despite the rapid changes in style…”
