IN WHOREFISH BLOOMERS: The Waitresses' Lament' Comes to The Drama Factory

The 'Virgin' and the 'Whore'. Two waitresses prepare themselves for another nauseating night on the battlefields of Horrifying Hospitalica! Armed with toothpick, their razor-sharp wit, and ripe, suck-able tits, they don their aprons, hoist their fishnets and limber up to perform In Whorefish Bloomers!

An adaptation of Pam-Grant and Stannard's underground 1980s feminist 'cabaret'. Two young Cape Town actresses take on the patriarchy one tit-bit at a time in this collection of pro-femme episodes stuffed with humour, word play, cheesy dance moves, a sprinkle of song and a drizzle of darkness. Further Info: Nominated for Best Production and Best Creative (Directing) Awards at the Cape Town Fringe and back after a sold out run in Johannesburg, don't miss you last chance to see this high-energy, feminist comedy.
