Ned Kelly spoof written and directed by, (and starring), Abe Forsythe. Ned 'takes the piss' out of every aspect of the nation's favourite outlaw making some very droll comments about legends and myths along the way. It is quite consistently funny, and there is a handling of the comic material which has a distinctly and delightfully Australian character. Among the co-stars are many familiar faces of Australian TV and theatre, Jason Donovan for instance as Father Thompson. Felix Williamson stands out in his role as Kelly's arch nemesis, Governor Sinclair, which he plays with energy. Seasoned Aussie Thespian Drew Forsythe (Abe Forsythe's Dad) is hilarious as the crusty old waffler narrating the story to a sneering and disinterested youngster. Very rude and funny
