Description
Presented by New Theatre in association with the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras"Shit on those who call this sodomy / We call it fabulous!”
It’s London, 1726 and Mrs Tull is struggling to save her frock-hire business. She hits on a plan to open a molly house – a brothel where the ‘girls’ are boys in drag – and soon business is booming!
Meanwhile, in a trendy 21st century Bloomsbury loft, a gay relationship is disintegrating amidst the drugs and toys of a sex party.
From the writer of 'Shopping and Fucking' comes this riotous musical play, a subversive, sexy and very funny social satire bursting with outrageous characters, bawdy songs and handsome men!
“Wonderfully exuberant … celebrates Sodom like there’s no Gomorrah” The Guardian
