THE
ICONOCLASTS
The Iconoclasts tells the story of an exuberant family facade that is just about ready to crack!
Music, magic, poetry, drag and comedy meet in an explosive night of what would-be redemption for the former celebrities, but the cabaret-style comeback night just goes further and further off course.
Played in by a funky live band, fronted by the sexy Sweet Stax, lucky ticket holders are encouraged to grab a drink and strap in for the fiery return of the showbiz legends.
