Saturday Afternoon Fever

A suburban story of footy obsession, and a loser who finally wins...kind of.

This is about a boy without a clue, who could have been you. Women see their men, and men see themselves in this childhood tale of heroes, hurt and happiness.

Saturday Afternoon Fever is performed and was written by Matthew Hardy – SEN 116’s original co host of The Run Home with Dermie, Huddo and Hardy. Matthew is also a BAFTA winning writer for Ten’s The Sketch Show, and the writer of 'One Man Breaking Bad', 'Willy Wonka Explained', 'Chick Flick' and the co writer of 'Effie The Virgin Bride'.

Based on the Best Selling Random House of the same name, this timeless classic, laugh-out loud Melbourne-set story, has won rave reviews. Previous runs have totally sold out and this limited run 20thAnniversary season will sell out too…so be quick!
