This is a play about Kiwi Col and Aussie Don, brothers from a family split in two as a result of the most infamous act in sporting history – The Underarm.

25 years later, the brothers meet at a Test Match at the Basin Reserve to put on trial the man who ruined their lives – Aussie cricket captain, Greg Chappell, and to ask the eternal question – “Greg, what the $%!* were you thinking!?!”

‘Owzat! It's hard to think of a more riotous comedy. The Underarm rises from an all-time low in trans-Tasman sporting relations. And rise in crescendos of laughter it does.’ Manawatu Standard.

Written by David Geary and Justin Gregory, and directed by Geoff Pinfield.

This event is part of the 2008 FUEL Festival.
