The Tasmanian Uni Revue are appealing for information after their beloved “Jeremy-Frank-N-Frockliff” cut-out was “uprooted” from the ground at Hobart’s Great Escape Music Festival on New Years Eve.
The annual satire theatre show are offering free tickets to the people who rung in the new year while parading the giant statue of Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff around the festival’s mosh pit.
“The cut out was put up as advertising at the Great Escape music festival, and as the night went on some, patrons got a bit handsy and uprooted him from the ground to take into the mosh,” Revue organisers said.
“Elise Magentarcher went missing on the first evening of the festival, and Jeremy in the arvo of the second day. No signs of Elise anywhere but Jeremy was in the mosh when middle kids were playing”.
Organisers say they ‘just want Frockliff home’.
This year’s Uni Revue, The Rockliff Horror Show, kicks off at Hobart’s Theatre Royal on May 10.
The Great Escape Music Festival, held at Redbanks in Nugent, attracted a sold out crowd of around 1,500 people.
