First Night

Work:: First Night (S0892091058)

Ladies and Gentlemen. It's a crazy business, show business. We couldn't do it without you. You make us feel very warm and very special. You make our skin crawl and our eyes wet with rage. Eight performers in a line of dazzling smiles, dead eyes, sequinned lycra, tottering heels and loud check suites. First Night begins with a grand welcome but soon disintegrates into haughty predictions of the future, escapology acts, unexpected dances and unhinged showbiz anecdotes. A variety night where the acts always seem to end in either insult or injury and the darkness offstage is no longer safe. Somewhere, somehow, the night has come comically, horribly and totally unstuck.
