A colourful cast of drag, burlesque and circus performers dressed as parody versions of characters from a fairytale swamp adventure pose together on a cobblestone path. At the centre is a large green ogre laughing with arms outstretched, surrounded by performers styled as a princess, a queen, a fairy godmother, a prince, a cat in boots and a donkey character kneeling playfully at the front. The background shows bright green hills and a sign reading “Far Far Away”.

A performer dressed as a parody ogre dances under a bright spotlight on a dark stage. They wear a green sequinned corset and a flowing sheer gown trimmed with faux fur, along with an ogre mask and headpiece with small green ears. Their arms are outstretched mid-twirl, the fabric swirling around them as green stage lights glow overhead.

A performer dressed as a camp, drag donkey character stands centre stage under purple and gold lighting. They wear a plush grey bodysuit with subtle sparkles, dramatic makeup and a curly wig topped with tall furry donkey ears. The performer is mid-song illuminated by a soft spotlight from above.

Swamplesque 2

WE ALL KNOW THE SEQUEL WAS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!

SWAMPLESQUE finally returns to Adelaide after touring Far Far Away (or as we call it, the UK) with a BRAND NEW burlesque, drag & circus parody! We've heard you've been holding out for a hero and he's ogre-due for a comeback! What happens when our big green man meets a godmother, a prince and a cat wearing suspiciously large boots? Mayhem! There’s magic potions, a sparkly horse and a villain who belts like they’re auditioning for Eurovision.

Fresh from sell-out seasons in London's West End and Edinburgh Fringe, we’re giving ADELAIDE the WORLD PREMIERE of SWAMPLESQUE 2. Trust us, it’s been worth the wait.

It’s the fairytale sequel that proves once upon a time was never this much fun!

Happily ever after meets happily unhinged!
