Ensemble Theatre: Fly Girl

His Majesty's Theatre, Perth Perth, WA, Australia

Daytime Deewane

Naturism

No internet. No intruders. No clothes. Far from the trappings of civilisation, a group of nudist baby boomers have created their very own off-grid bush eco-paradise. An unseasonably hot summer approaches, but no worries! They’ve got enough preserves, pickles, and Fleetwood Mac to get them through it… probably. Enter Evangeline—a…
