the Arts Centre, Fairfax Studio
Love, death, communism and Spandau Ballet... a bittersweet, suburban roller-drama with heart(ache).

It's 1985. Jesse is king of the roller-rink....but he's yearning for something more. He knows there's something deeper, a better way to be alive.

The new girl in town, Harriet, intrigues him with her naïve Marxism, whilst Wolf, the rink's DJ Lothario, throws down the gauntlet for skating glory. When Jesse discovers nihilism, he sets out to create his masterpiece for the National Artistic Rollerskating Championships.

As the 80s bleed into the 90s, big events reverberate in little hearts and everyone is looking for a way out. Like Spandau Ballet, will Jesse go for Gold or like Visage, Fade to Grey?

Can Jesse stay true? And who is The Man with the September Face?

The Man with the September Face

By Kylie Trounson,
Fairfax Studio, Arts Centre, St Kilda Road, city, until Saturday
Reviewer Tim Richards

EVERYTHING old is new again. Tony Abbott has resurrected the political players of the 1990s, fashion gurus are exhuming the modes of the 1980s, and here comes The Man with the September Face. Taking its title from a misheard Spandau Ballet lyric, it's a musically fuelled foray into the age of leg warmers and big hair...
