Herstory

Herstory makes its WA premiere as a late night show night show in De Parel Spiegeltent at FringeWorld.

Part Burlesque, part fun women's history lesson, Imogen Kelly, Burlesque Queen (2012) plays Marlene Dietrich who introduces an hour long show which explores some of history's most notorious women.

A fabulously eclectic production which includes satire, puppetry, singing, amazing aerials, clever short films, stripping and audience interaction, it would be impossible to be bored in this swift ever-changing show.

Gorgeously costumed, the characters are well chosen and nicely portrayed, and the acts (or scenes), while not all equally successful, are all clever.

Nicely paced, intelligent Burlesque with a great sense of fun, this is a naughty but nice night out.
