Turning a quizzical eye to the woes of the heart and reeking with scandal and scurrilous vice, Optimism transforms Voltaire's classic satire of enlightened insanity, Candide, into a cutting commentary on the no-worries bravura of the Australian swagger. Australian comedian Frank Woodley leads a wonderful bunch of clowns in this remarkable road trip. Religion, sex, disease and philosophy all cross our hero's path as he travels across five continents through a multitude of moods. Join the criminally cheerful Candide for an optimistic journey to Utopia and back.T01498812676Producer Malthouse Melbourne. Company Sydney Theatre Company. Director Michael Kantor.
