Legal AIDS: No-One Is Immune

PUBLICITY officer Michael Karaffa is not content to let the title of this year's Law Revue 'Legal AIDS' speak for itself. He stresses, a trifle smugly, that this production by the Melbourne University Law Students' Society features "festering buckets full of bad OPPPOT r So far, he says, the show has been received "extremely well" and its cast or "dynamic young people in the peak of physical condition" is showing no signs of flagging under the strain of delivering lusty choruses and dances. The law revue has in the past helped such notables as Gough Whitlam and Sir John Kerr (as illustrated by Tandberg) start their career in high farce. The only possible disappointment for Mr Karaffa is that a possible successor (politically) to Mr Whitlam is yet to become apparent from among this year's hoofers. He is optimistic enough to suggest, however, that there may still be several future PMs in the cast, although whether predominantly Labor or Liberal he could not tell because of the anarchic nature of their contributions to the script. "But they could be a little of both, much like our present incumbent," he said. The show ends its run at the Open Stage, corner of Swanston and Grattan streets (Carlton), with matinee and 8.15 pm performances tomorrow. There is also a show tonight.
