Accidentally Bunya Street

"Well, you've just gotta cry"

Accidentally Bunya Street - Wrtitten & directed by Simon Denver

Last year saw the riotous revue "Accidentally Maple Street". It was fast and funny, and the 550 people who saw it all went off big time. Afterwards we all sighed a collective "Phew", patted ourselves on the back for equalising ourselves through humour and heartedly concurred that the show was very timely because things in our sleepy little village couldn't get any worse. Well, were we wrong! 2004 was a mere ripple in our social political pool. 2005 was the tsunami! Our sleepy little village is not what it use to be. I blinked and suddenly everything had changed. It was suddenly in a village in which you are allowed block the main street but get booked for beeping your horn, a village in which the largest employer is the Qld Police Service, in which the local paper has more letters than a Welsh railway station! A village where big cheques must be marked "Non Negotiable" and a village whose new symbol is a evolutionary freak of nature! (A Platypus, not a developer). Obviously there's only one thing to do!

So ladies and gentlemen, we present to you, the 2005 revue - "Accidentally Bunya Street".

The show will be presented by SRT and directed by Simon Denver who will hold down two portfolio's in the show - Court Jester and High Executioner. He has stated recently that the show has two strategic aims. 1) Heal the Divide. 2) Divide the Heels

As with last years epic the show will stuffed with songs, sketches, humour as a series of sacred cows get led to the abattoirs of satire. The main difference is that this years show has two themes. Act One will look at the last few years of Maleny the sleepy village. Act Two will look at the next two years of Maleny the suburb

"Accidentally Bunya Street' will be was performed at the Community Centre on Friday 5th Saturday 6th, & Sunday 7th August. Meals and Bar are available. All bookings and enquiries through the Bower Bird in Maple Street, Maleny - phone 5494 3277 .

And so it came to pass

Bernard sums it up in Monty Python fashion Monty Python - The Galaxy Song - by Unknown
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
