Lucinda Gleeson

Keef Richards; world famous guitarist, lover of cigarettes, booze, drugs, some more booze and women. His age is estimated to be anywhere between 60 and 4 billion years. In fact, he may be some sort of android, zombie or mythical creature. Often fond of irregular headbands, rumoured to anchor his flesh to his head so that his face doesn't slide off. Famous for his ability to avoid death, for falling out of coconut trees and for snorting his fathers ashes. His whereabouts are constantly changing, though it can be assumed that wherever he is, when the nuclear apocalypse hits he'll outlive us all...
What more could you want in a leading man?

Keef Richards is coming to Griffin Theatre Company this November...

Spend an evening with the greatest living myth - rock ‘n’ roll guitar legend, ‘Keef’ Richards - and his motley crew of demons, lovers and fellow music makers, including Chuck Berry, Howlin’ Wolf and Queen Liz, as Keef navigates us through his philosophy on living and the search for the secret chord.  
In this uncharted, unlawful, and unofficial tale, our working-class hero traverses the globe, masterminding bands, coups and crimes, to see how far this riff can take us all.
Hedonistic and hilariously absurd, this latest theatrical jam from playwright Benito Di Fonzo and director Lucinda Gleeson stars Helpmann Award-winning Terry Serio, a fearless axe-wielder in his own right, as the guitar anti-hero.

Our Writer / Director team, Benito Di Fonzo and Lucinda Gleeson, are at it again! After hugely popular seasons of their last two productions they're back with another world premiere of this very Rock N Roll Australian work and we need your help to bring it to life.

Meet the Team

Want to show your support in another way?

Ocelot Productions receives no government backing and is sustained through the generous support of it's donors and investors.
At present we are all donating our time and resources to the project because of a belief in the creation of new Australian work, and to provide opportunities for artists to showcase their work in one of Sydney's most prominent venues. We are working under a profit-share model, and once direct production costs are covered, your generous donation will go solely to paying our 13 strong team involved in the creation of this project. 

Your support will go towards initial cash flow for direct production costs of set, costumes, props, lighting, sound and rehearsals. All support beyond this point will go directly to the cast and crew! 

We believe in self sufficiency as much as possible and have already covered the following costs with Sponsorship / Investment and our own resources: Rehearsal Space, Photography, Graphic Design / Printing, Insurance, and APRA.

HUGE thanks to Griffin Theatre Company for providing us with venue, technical, marketing and publicity support. This is a massive contribution and we are so incredibly grateful to have their support.

To Pearly Productions for their financial contribution, without which this may not be possible.
To local bars, The Temperance Society and The Dock for their drinks discounts and donations, and Belvoir and Sport for Jove for their ticket donations.

And to Ross Waldron for all our Photography and Trailers!

Once we hit our intended Pozible target, all costs in producing the show will be met. So financially, we'll be in the clear!

Once we hit our target of $5500 (extra $500 to cover Pozible fees) any extra monies will go directly towards paying our cast and crew! We are aiming for $8800 at that point to share the bonus support amongst our incredibly hard working team of 13.
