In a world of lies and tarnished ideals, sometimes all you can do is laugh at it.
In 'Banana Republic' a group of young friends try to rebuild the world one sharehouse at a time when they start up a commune at home. Drawing inspiration from television sitcoms, the play takes a light-hearted look at serious issues.
Julian is a self styled entrepreneur. The trouble is that he’s never had the gumption to move beyond his
job flipping burgers. His flatmate Jen, a well dressed and spoken law student, has started dating Geoff, a latte sipping revolutionary. Julian thinks he sees through Jen’s new activist lifestyle, so he tricks Jen into turning their sharehouse into a commune. Julian thinks it will be an easy case of waiting until Jen's selfish ways bring their utopia undone. However things take an unexpected turn when Dill, their unemployed flatmate, uses the commune’s money to start online trading on the stock exchange. Tensions escalate between Julian and Jen and when their own mini version of the G.F.C. occurs, their sharehouse utopia becomes a micronism of global economic woes.
Banana Republic takes major elements of Australian political life and compresses them into the lives of the characters who share a single home.
