The Wrong Horse, explores the world of small-time crime in Melbourne. Noddy and Big Ears (not their real names, obviously), stumble their way through life, stupidly and by chance. Bumbling criminals. Noddy’s disability wins him good fortune and leads him to inadvertently make the wrong decisions. Big Ears is not the smartest bloke around town. Their final job, which on the surface appears to go well, leads them on a journey of comical and dramatic consequences. They are on the run from a criminal world that wants them whacked.
Fiona Anderson reviewed a La Mama playreading of The Wrong Horse, for Weekend Notes and said: “It’s engaging and relatable, witty and well-paced. The style is Aussie colloquial – think Hopgood’s ‘And the Big Men Fly’ or Williamson’s ‘Don’s Party’
