Adelaide Fringe, Watch from home, or Seated at Black Box Theatre

About this event

A national emergency is declared. Civil liberties are restricted. Theatres and nightclubs -- intellectual, artistic havens - are closing. A chanteuse takes to a smoky stage in musical defiance. A postmodern cabaret for a world on fire, inspired by the Weimar Kabarett tradition.

Written & Performed by Joanne Hartstone - WINNER Frank Ford Award, Made In Adelaide Award
Designed & Directed by Tom Kitney
Musical Direction by Emma Knights
Mentorship & Translation by Professor Michael Morley
