Based on Reg Livermore’s Betty Blokk Buster Follies of 1975

In 2020, Red Line headlined the Sydney Festival with Betty Blokk-Buster Reimagined—a bold revival of Reg Livermore’s Betty Blokk Buster Follies of 1975. Staged in the Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent, the production sold out and drew critical acclaim, further showcasing Red Line’s capacity to reimagine Australian classics for audiences.

Reviews

-“Simply Extraordinary…A Revelation” –Sydney Morning Herald

-“Red Line Productions and Josh Quong Tart, bring a reimagined “Betty” to the Sydney Festival. With Livermore’s imprimatur, they transport the “makeshift fairground” of the original production into the Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent and take some of Livermore’s ideas and characters into an equally entertaining but still challenging twenty-first century context.” – Stage Whispers

-“This new show captures the spirit of Reg Livermore's seminal 1975 solo show, cleverly combining old and new material for audiences today… Livermore is one of a kind. I admit I went to see Betty Blokk-Buster Reimagined with some trepidation, but I enjoyed it immensely. It is a homage to Livermore and a wonderful reminder of his massive impact on Australian theatre, while reinventing the material for audiences today.” - Limelight
