Dracula's: Sanctuary
Here's a new show from Dracula's, a performance venue which rose from the undead in 1980 in a Melbourne laneway.
It promises a carnal cocktail of the undead and the criminally insane.
From death-defying aerial acrobatics to knockout vocals, expect a risqué burlesque comedy show with plenty of fangs, feathers and flirting in a judgment-free zone.
If that sounds like your kind of show, it's on at the Canberra Theatre on Friday at 8pm and Saturday at 2pm and 8pm. See: canberratheatrecentre.com.au
