Synopsis
An alluring and darkly comical cabaret exploring the erotic life of a hermaphrodite’s dual existence as a stripper and boxer. 'One of the most confronting, absorbing, original, very funny, very wicked, very clever, sexual 70 minutes you are ever likely to spend anywhere!' ***** (Adelaide Theatre Guide); ‘A voice like chilli chocolate - rich, dark and spicy’ **** (Age); ‘Raw, gritty, littered with expletives and pulsating with a soundtrack intended to shock ... Bradson’s performance is nothing short of astounding’ (Pun). Winner 'best newcomer' and 'best cabaret', Melbourne Fringe 2009. www.greenroompresents.com
Our Review:
Nancy Groves - 20 August 2010
Dank and dirty, the Underbelly Delhi Belly is well suited to the seedier side of cabaret and in When the Sex Is Gone they have a show that’s not afraid to go down on its audience. Tommy Bradson plays Charlie Martini, a hermaphrodite of “two score and five” who has filled as many holes, (s)he says, as her narcotic namesake.
The shock factor comes, ahem, not in the bodily fluids dripping from the script, but the flash of danger in Bradson's performance. His skill lies in the segue, his voice ranging from sweet to shriek, his persona from victim to bully. And two thirds through, a costume change heralds a whole new set of balls. The show's songs aren’t as strong as they should be and its tone at times confused.
“Not your usual bedroom story,” Bradson spits at one point, “but you play the cards you’re dealt.” And the tickets you buy. This one is worth the flutter though.<...
