Burlesque as you like It - Not a family show
The Dust Palace (Akld)

Feats of daring, coercion, seduction and sedition are performed by a luscious troupe of gorgeous performers in a smouldering burlesque. Comedic, politically astute and poetically informed, it’s more than the adrenaline of circus, the titillation of burlesque, the charm of comedy or the heart of theatre. Salacious and subversive, we gently undress ideas around modern and historic sexuality for your enjoyment.
