Better Than A Blow-Up Doll

6pm Festival Theatre
It is the eve of the apocalypse. But the world isn't going to hell in a handcart; it's a caravan, located on the Festival Theatre Terrace. It's kind of like Doctor Strangelove meets Demtel...



 

Kit and the Widow

Eddie Perfect is ANGRY EDDIE

Assume crash positions. This is kamikaze cabaret. A biting satire about politics, sex, war, apathy, the media and juice bars.



 

The Rat Pack's Back

It may not be Sammy, Frank and Dean... but you'd swear it was. It's The Rat Pack's Back: three guys and a 12-piece band giving it everything they've got.
