Blimps and Commos

Blimps and Commos

In Act II O'Malley invites the Blimps to call witnesses in support of their form of government, and the evidence produced by the Wallahs of Wall Street is faintly reminiscent of the daily utterances of the Chamber of Dominance. The witness called by the Commos is none other than the Crimson King of the Kremlin. MacBeth's line, "Hi Jo, what d' y' know?" causes consternation, but Jo's proclamation, delivered in oracular monotones, confounds even the staunchest members of his party. The remainder of the plot centres around MacBeth's attempt to dispose of O'Malley and his regime with the aid of a by now rabid pack of communists and infuriated swarms of Blimps in bath-towels. O'Malley's fate will be obvious to all "Southern Cross" readers, and also to you, once you have forked out your three bob and seen the show.
