Coming soon: Australian Satire

October 20, 2018 by Tahlia Newland

AIA Publishing is pleased to announce that we will soon be publishing A Town Like Ours by Alexander Cade. Humour is a personal thing – what some find funny others don’t – but I found myself chuckling away at this satire of a small town with big ambitions. If you have any experience of small town politics or the film industry, you’ll be chuckling too. I know nothing about politics, but I do know the film industry, hence my chuckles. It’s all too recognisable and believable, and manages to be humorous without being silly. In fact, beneath the humour is, as with all good satire, a pointed social commentary. So keep your eye out for this one.

What’s it about?

Michael Milosovic, builder, amateur architect, developer, landowner and mayor of the Australian town Coddington St George (pop. 5,499) wants to be elected to the shire council and hence to the Queensland State Planning Committee. To achieve this ambition, he needs publicity. What better, he thinks, than making a community movie extolling the delights of life in Coddington St George. He’ll be the producer and the star. But there’s a problem. He knows nothing about movie making. So he hires Jack Wilcon, a Hollywood ‘producer’, to come to Coddington and make the movie.

In this hilarious satire on small-town politics and the lowest-of-low-budget movie making, Alexander Cade’s cast of quirky characters and insights into two very different worlds make A Town Like Ours a delight from start to finish.

You won’t rest until you know how this comedy of errors ends.
