THE BURLESQUE EFFECT

$5.40 – $15.00

Set in the seedy world of 1950s burlesque in Sydney, The Burlesque Effect follows straight-laced suburbanite James, who falls victim to a seductive world as he ventures into The Scarlet Lounge and meets beautiful dancer Honey.

The Scarlet Lounge, run by veteran Fleur, is a haven for men seeking a good time and the dancers are seductive... but go too far, and watch out, they bite back.

Featuring 10 burlesque routines, The Burlesque Effect is a fast-paced emotional ride of dancing and drama.

"The narrative is a perfect vehicle and excuse for some highly entertaining burlesque... All the roles are exceptionally well-written... Tunksy's really hit his stride." - Lloyd Bradford Skye, Crikey

REVIEW: THE BURLESQUE EFFECT | NEWTOWN THEATRE, SYDNEY

LLOYD BRADFORD SKYE, CRIKEY, 27 JULY 2011

"Itâ€™s a delicious and inventive tension that makes the characters and relationships between them that much more interesting. These are, in fact, and by a wide margin, I reckon, Tunksâ€™ best-drawn characters to date."
