Prohibition
A super slick spectacle packed with Astonishing Acrobats, Sassy Singers, Mesmerizing Magicians and more. Lose yourself in a world of lascivious 1930’s film-noir glamour, where the desire for a cold glass of booze has made criminals of us all.
Come see some of the world’s top variety acts bound together in a quirky light-hearted crime story like nothing you’ve ever seen before. This international dream team cast includes Australian Acrobat Caz Walsh of Pants Down Circus (★★★★★ The Advertiser) and American Psychic Detective Dirk Darrow of 2 Ruby Knockers, 1 Jaded Dick (★★★★★ Australian Stage).

★★★★ ½ “If you’re looking for variety and entertainment experienced together in a single show, Prohibition is for you!” Adelaide Theatre Guide
