Barmaids

The language was ripe! No topic off limits! And the coarseness of everyday life was front and foremost!

Michael Sutton has recreated the bar of yesteryear with everything (so I’m told) that made the hub of the suburbs such a necessary part of life.

The Barmaids: Kate McNair – Nancy and Tara Page – Val, are both Gold Coast Area Palm Award winners for their leading actress performances in past shows.

These two “beer pullers” are the entire cast; except for some “dumb” pub patrons and some unsuspecting audience members.

The plot takes place as the girls relive the action of THE WEEK FROM HELL! Nancy thinks she is going to be replaced (due to her age) by a scantily clothed bimbo – ‘to improve profits’ and Val is going through personal family problems.

Audience participation is encouraged and rewarded with beer and hot food from the pub’s bistro and if you fancy yourself as a karaoke queen, then this is the pub for you!

Michael is also a multi Gold Coast Palm Award winner for his scenic design and the pub’s decor is as authentic as possible and as a non-drinker I believe him.

This is an adults only show, alive with energy!
