Dietrich: Natural Duty
It is 1942: On the battlefields of North Africa in a gold sequin gown, Marlene Dietrich takes the stage to fight the war her way; with an irresistible mix of songs, sequins, sex and sympathy. This breathtaking mixture of theatre, cabaret and drag returns to Adelaide by popular demand after completing a world tour including Soho Playhouse in New York and Wilton's Music Hall in London.
Fall in love again with this Hollywood icon and her extraordinary commitment to duty.
★★★★★ "Sublime is not an exaggeration... This is not just virtuoso performance, it is genius." Samela Harris, The Barefoot Review.
★★★★★ "An absolute tour de force... Brilliant" Jan Kershaw, Glam Adelaide.
