“Dutch Courage … written by Barry Lowe, with music and lyrics by Sean Peter, and performed here by Not So Straight Theatre`, judiciously mixes comedy, music and drama, with some homoeroticism for good measure. It presents a unique view about surviving as a homosexual in a world where Gypsies, Jews, blacks and gays lived in danger of extermination. Dutch Courage succeeds in treating these issues with a good deal of sensitivity, while being a riot in poor taste for most of the rest of the night.” - Tim Lloyd, Adelaide Advertiser, 14th February, 1997 (page 17) “Dutch Courage … draws on real people and events, told in flashback by Jakob (Michael Baldwin), the Jewish partner of transvestite Greta (Nick Gill), who uses her nightclub, Chez Sissy, as a cover for resistance work. This includes sleeping with the enemy for troop information and blowing up the Amsterdam records Office to prevent the Nazis cross-checking forged identity papers. The action moves between nightclub scenes, where Greta does her drag queen patter among the audience and the trouipe sends up war a la Cabaret in clever songs such as “Fags Can’t Fight”; and the oddtage chronicling of their resistance activities and emotional entanglements.” - John Edge, The Bulletin, 25th February, 1997 (page 70)
