About August Kiss Fegley, Alison Newton and Cast
Saloon Girls is a dark comedy set in a nineteenth-century saloon and brothel of the Great American West, by August Kiss Fegley, Alison Newton and Cast. The story unfolds in a single room — the dressing room — where women doll themselves up, debrief their evenings, and scheme to navigate a male-dominated lawless land. The narrative explores relationships between the painted ladies and their Madam, upended by the arrival of a long-lost sister. The show runs for 50 minutes at the Studio and is suitable for ages 16 and over, with warnings for distressing themes, scenes of a sexual nature, scenes of violence, and strong language.
Why see this show?
A bawdy, boisterous ensemble piece that brings six fully drawn characters to life in a single room. The Wild West setting gives the show both colour and real dramatic stakes, especially once the long-lost sister arrives.
