Considered one of the Popular Theatre Troupe's most accessible shows, The Millionaire's Handicap was the result of Albert Hunt's last visit as a consultant and director for the company.

'Based on a booklet published by Action for World Development about the activities of the Comalco Bauxite Mining Company in North Queensland, where the aboriginal people had been removed at gunpoint from their tribal lands. There was also evidence of transfer price fixing in Hong Kong to deny Australia a share of the profits resulting from the mining, The Millionaires Handicap used training and racing horses as a metaphor for the treatment of different "races" of people by big business.'

1 The White House Goes To The Movies Albert Hunt , Popular Theatre Troupe , 1976 single work drama humour satire

Albert Hunt proposed staging The White House Goes to the Movies to the organisers of the 1976 Adelaide Festival as a double bill with The White Man's Mission. The show comprises two short plays that had previously been performed in England by Albert Hunt's Bradford company. Each looks at a particular American presidency - those of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. Hunt's take on Johnson was to see him as if he was Longfellow Deeds, the simple country bumpkin who refuses to be corrupted by the city in Capra's Mr Deeds Goes to Town. He treats Nixon as if he were Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot.

'The White man's Mission was a musical entertainment using the metaphor of rousing revivalist meeting to present episodes in the history of Australia and the South Pacific. Racism, slavery and exploitation were examined in a bitterly humorous documentary about the fate of Aborigines after the arrival of the white man on the continent, and the fate of the 50,00 descendants of the South Sea Islanders still living in Australia today' (Errol O'Neill. Challenging the Centre, p.63).
