ASLEEP AT THE WEAL | frankgauntlett
https://frankgauntlett.wordpress.com/2012/08/01/asleep-at-the-weal
Pointless old flannel about stuff. ASLEEP AT THE WEAL. Recently our fun-loving Australia Council produced a cracking page-turner report about women’s professional engagement, or lack of it, with the more respectable of the Performing Arts. Walking off the notebooks, by all accounts, hot ticket, what a blast, full of stats, cred where it counts, nicely laid out, free and totally downloadable which is the main thing if we truly care for our beleaguered planet. Makes me look like Walter (John Goodman) in.

RUPERT THE BARE: an opportunistic mini-memoir for our times | frankgauntlett

Pointless old flannel about stuff. RUPERT THE BARE: an opportunistic mini-memoir for our times. I worry about Rupert. Don’t we all? Poor old soul. No, don’t laugh. There but for the incomprehensible and irreconcilably radical divergences in our lives go I. In the lift I kept well schtum and tried to blend in with the environment which, in a brushed steel lift, is a bugger when you’ve got skin, clothes, hair and possible body ornamentation to contend with. I probably had a bag as well. It wo...It is on su...

THERE’S NO SCHTICK LIKE SLAP SCHTICK | frankgauntlett
https://frankgauntlett.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/theres-no-schtick-like-slap-schtick
Pointless old flannel about stuff. THERE’S NO SCHTICK LIKE SLAP SCHTICK. Been at the fold again! Fucking cohorts everywhere . . . Ahhh visual humor. Exactly what the first paragraph’s not. A universal language to all but the blind, absent, humorless, otherwise engaged and those pointed in the wrong direction. Actually it’s four. Five if you include that Top End Emu Love Dance thing but I don’t think that heals wounds or helps anyone really at this stage. Bird or Dude. 8220;Tell us more! There was I, temp...

POOF! JUST LIKE THAT! | frankgauntlett
https://frankgauntlett.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/poof-just-like-that
Pointless old flannel about stuff. As several dear readers are aware, The Mem has temporarily decamped to foreign climes for, among other things, a laugh and a shout. By this time I’ve little doubt that one, two or even three of you is asking repeatedly and with mounting insistence: “Isn’t it about time Old Gauntlett went queer? 8220;Get back with the forks in every spoon cage you knife! 8221; as the Badly Translated Japanese would have us believe. 8211; unless they’re. I have spent much of my adult life...

WRITERS MIFFED SHOCK INDIFFERENCE! | frankgauntlett
https://frankgauntlett.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/writers-miffed-shock-indifference
Pointless old flannel about stuff. WRITERS MIFFED SHOCK INDIFFERENCE! A frisson of alarm and constipation grips – and yet, with strange eroticism, ripples through – the squalid haunts of Sydney’s few remaining semi-domesticated playwrights. 8220;Why is this so? 8221; you murmur, not quite able to give a rat’s. Anyway . . . The End Is Nigh, so watch your step. Two creative gentlemen discuss their fresh collaboration. 8220;When it comes to theatre,”. 8220;I’m with you,”. Says The Other One. Given the curre...
