Stephen Hall
For The Term of His Natural Lies
In 2025, for his seventh Melbourne International Comedy Festival show, Stephen Hall (Shaun Micallef's Mad As Hell, Fawlty Towers Live, Monty Python's Spamalot) brings you a night at the movies.
With a difference.
For months, he's been grabbing bits from 15 old movies, re-editing them, re-writing them and - with Roz Hammond - recording an entirely new soundtrack, to create a brand-new 50-minute comedy film...
FOR THE TERM OF HIS NATURAL LIES.
A man who insists he's 2,187 years old has been imprisoned on multiple charges of Grievously Unreliable Narration. As he relates his outlandish adventures from decades and centuries gone by, doubts begin to form in the minds of his captors... Is there any way he could possibly be telling the truth?
Join Stephen for a live intro to his latest creation – one new comedy film, made from 15 old drama films.
