[edit] Story

In a future universe consumed by eco-wars and the persecution of plastic, a notorious planet, Frottage III, offers refuge to the depraved in the shape of Saucy Jack's - a dark and seedy cabaret club presided over by the alluring and charismatic Saucy Jack himself.

Here a vagabond cast of cabaret artistes perform twice nightly for a clientèle who, largely, are far more interested in their own clandestine affairs than the entertainment laid on by their host, the alluring and enigmatic Saucy Jack himself.

However, all is not well at Saucy Jack's - danger lurks in every corner. Jack's cabaret performers are being picked off one by one by a ruthless serial killer - the only clue is the heel of a sequined Sling back thrust into the chest of each victim. But, in true showbiz fashion, the show must go on!

[edit] History

In 1995 a group of four ex-students of the University of Kent, Johanna Allitt, Simon Curtis, Mike Fidler and Charlotte Mann[1], set out to stage a production at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Unfortunately their desired production Leonard Bernstein's "Candide" was already going to be playing and so instead wrote their own piece[2]

Cast: Mark Carroll, Paul Christopher, Carl Mullaney, Joel Karie, Scott Baker, Carmen Cusack, Faye Tozer, Melitsa Nicola, Gemma Zirfas

The show was made available for amateur licence in 2004 through Samuel French Ltd, and continues to be played by amateur groups mainly in the UK and USA. The Glitterboots website usually has details of current and new productions.
