In Sydney's Kings Cross sex, corruption and crime course through its seedy streets and only the smartest and toughest survive. 'In this shadowy parallel world lurk the irrepressibly lecherous McNeil, Boris Barksy the sinister Russian mafia boss, 'Front End' Loder the bent copper, the Madam with a heart of gold, her bevy of working girls, pole-dancers, pimps, and a hopelessly inept trio of thieves. Together they sashay and slither across the stage in the funniest exposé of vice seen in a very long time... Inspired by John Gay's 18th century romp The Beggar's Opera, this is contemporary and barbed satire at its most vibrant and entertaining' (New Theatre website)
