Sydney Opera House: Truck Driver
19 June @ 7:30 pm - 8:45 pm AEST

Have you met Bev yet? Buckle up, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride and you’re riding shotgun. Bev’s an outback oracle, dispensing diesel-fueled wisdom from his 18-wheeler pulpit. He’s clocked a million miles and has a story for everyone – some tall, some true, all a window into a life lived on the road. But something’s changing in Bev’s world and it’s not just the gears.
He’s a larrikin with some rough edges and controversial views that might make you clutch your pearls. But hear him out, his experiences offer a rare glimpse into a world that’s often overlooked.
Part comedy, part meditation on a changing Australia, this solo show is the latest genre-defying work from Jonny Hawkins (Maureen: Harbinger of Death) and Nell Ranney.
Strap in for a journey that’s equal parts laughter and reflection, with a few detours into the surreal. And please, keep an eye out for roos.
