Peter Pinne with Brisbane cast Music & Lyrics: Peter Pinne Book: Don Battye Based on a story by John Michael Howson. Echoes of Bogart, Dietrich and Carmen Miranda abound in this delicious send-up of dramatic Hollywood movies of the 40s. Set in the foyer of a seedy hotel in the North African city of Tanjablanca, the characters, waiting for the next clipper to Lisbon, are embroiled in a plot that involves stolen negatives from the Embassy and the murder of a rich international financier. A tap-dancing extravaganza which the critics called “thoroughly frivolous, thoroughly enjoyable” and “comprehensive in its satirical scope.” One set, a cast of eight (four women/four men), and a chorus of six (optional). Code B.
