'What happens on tour stays on tour...until now

The Panorama Pirates, a football team from Adelaide travel to Sydney to celebrate the end of the rugby season. They let loose on Sydney with the aim of drinking 10,000 beers in one very wild weekend. From the Friday night pub crawl to the casino on Saturday and serious drinking on Stupid Sunday, the camaraderie is fierce but the final beer packs a punch. 10,000 Beers is an exciting and confronting new Australian work exploring masculinity, sport and mateship.

The play delves into a world rarely seen on our contemporary stages, but raises issues ever-present in Australian society and the media. Audiences are thrown into the scrum by Alex Broun, playwright and rugby journalist, who's poured his experience into a comic but sometimes dark glimpse of this world.'
