FIRST REVIEW from the Adelaide Advertiser on 25/02/2010

 

 

The Small Poppies have a killer new show prepared for 2010 which we know you'll love. A rollercoaster ride of apocalyptic proportions, The Small Poppies DON'T CARE (the end of the world is nigh) takes the impending demise of human existence by the neck, gives it a little kiss and then laughs in its face.

The premise is that Armageddon, in all its various forms, is just around the corner. Through a series of sketches, and a couple of songs, the Poppies explore how the world would deal with the coming apocalypse – from the leaders of the world to the pregnant woman due the week after Doomsday. Some will want to give in to that old time religion, while others will just want to have sex (a lot). There’s queuing for Everest and celebrations in the International Space Station. The Grim Reaper feels overworked and underappreciated while suicide bombers race against God to achieve martyrdom in this comic satire. As the clock ticks forever closer to the final hour, it is clearly a dark time to be alive, but the Small Poppies want to show that, really, you’ve got to laugh don’t you?
