Burlesque by Force
Part true story, part metaphor, part poetry. You are invited to a raw
reflection of personal and political twisting with themes of consent and
sexuality. After a phenomenal premiere in the Adelaide Feast Festival,
Burlesque by Force returns with a little more flesh for Fringe. "one that
leaves you reliving it for some time to come ★★★★"
(AU Review) "a gut-wrenching - and essential - dramatization
of a tragic chapter from Australia's present" (Australian Stage)
