The Exotic Lives of Lola Montez
Friday 29 August
7:30pm
In 1855 Lola Montez toured the goldfields with "the most libertinish and indelicate performance that could be given on the public stage" (Sydney Morning Herald 1855). She horsewhipped the editor of The Ballarat Times (for a bad review) swung down mine shafts with champagne in hand and escaped arrest dressed only in her jewels.
Finucane & Smith's Lola is a joy ride - a mix of breathtaking storytelling sultry divas and jaw-dropping burlesque steeped in Australian history. Starring triple Best Actress winner Miss Caroline Lee (a direct descendant of Lola herself) burlesque goddess Maple Rose operatic darling Piera Dennerstein and Parisian club kitten Iva Rosebud. Written by Patrick White Playwright Award Winner Jackie Smith.
