$50.00 – $55.00A Play by Selina Fillinger
Presented by Lightning Jar Theatre in association with fortyfivedownstairs
Dedicated to any woman who’s ever found herself the secondary character in a male farce.
When a White House PR nightmare spins into a full blown shitshow, seven brilliant and beleaguered women must risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble.
Lightning Jar Theatre returns to fortyfivedownstairs following their enormously successful production of Mr Burns: a post electric play (Green Room Award Winner for Best Independent Production) in 2019, teaming with Trophy Boys director Marni Mount to present the Australian premiere of Selina Fillinger’s whip smart, all female farce, featuring Candy Bowers, Lucy Ansell, Carolyn Bock, Candy Bowers, Jen Bush, Liliana Dalton, Hannah Greenwood, Tilly Legge, and AYA.
