AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In a world of mud-spattered chaps and star-dusted space-helmets, interplanetary travel has become a dirty way
of life. Dominated by derelicts, grease monkeys, and hard-boiled space-traders such as Samuel Curtis, humans
are traded and dirty work is paid for in cats. Join us in Cory McAbee's space-cowboy sci-fi musical adapted for
the stage, as we follow Curtis on his Homeric quest to provide the all-female planet of Venus with a suitable
male stud, all the while dodging the grip of his enigmatic would-be killer, Professor Hess.' Source: www.melbournefringe.com.au/ (Sighted 07/10/2011).
