SUMMARY:deLightfully Scarlet: A Vintage Affair
DESCRIPTION:Scarlet Tinkabelle and Sophie deLightful are best friends who share stages\, dreams and lots of good times. So it is with great excitement that they debut their brand new duo show at Darwin Fringe\, “deLightfully Scarlet: A Vintage Affair.” \nTipping their sparkly hats to the fun and frivolous speakeasy period\, they explore the racy underbelly of the prohibition era\, which soundtracked the art of the tease with some of our most memorable cabaret moments today. Effortlessly intertwining a modern day edge with themes of empowerment and self-belief\, this show is perfectly palatable for any generation. \nWith Sophie’s powerhouse vocals and Tink’s award-winning sideshow burlesque stylings\, deLightfully Scarlet is more than your typical jazz burlesque set. Nightly prizes will be awarded to Best Dressed\, so buckle up those corsets and dust off those rhinestones.\n​​​​​​​\nDarwin\, this is the affair you’ve been waiting for! \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Examples of/ references to sexism\, Nudity\, Sexual References\, Smoke or haze \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Charlie Chaplin: Men Are Not Machines
DESCRIPTION:AI is rising. Will humanity rise with it? \nIn a world increasingly shaped by algorithms\, automation and artificial intelligence\, Men Are Not Machines brings the timeless warning of Charlie Chaplin crashing into the present moment. \nThrough a series of Chaplin-inspired vignettes\, performer Russell Smith revives the humour\, vulnerability and razor-sharp satire that made Chaplin one of the most powerful artists of the twentieth century. Audiences are transported to the turbulence of the 1930s — an era grappling with technology\, power and uncertainty — only to realise how closely it mirrors our own. \nAs machines grow smarter and faster\, Chaplin’s message feels more urgent than ever. \nThe performance builds toward a bold\, contemporary reimagining of the iconic speech from The Great Dictator — a rallying cry for compassion\, courage and human connection in an increasingly automated world. \nFunny\, moving and fiercely relevant\, Men Are Not Machines is not a warning against technology. \nIt’s a reminder that progress means nothing if we forget what makes us human. \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\nDuration: 50 minutes \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Loud noises such as bombs/gunshots\, Mental illness \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:deLightfully Scarlet: A Vintage Affair
DESCRIPTION:Scarlet Tinkabelle and Sophie deLightful are best friends who share stages\, dreams and lots of good times. So it is with great excitement that they debut their brand new duo show at Darwin Fringe\, “deLightfully Scarlet: A Vintage Affair.” \nTipping their sparkly hats to the fun and frivolous speakeasy period\, they explore the racy underbelly of the prohibition era\, which soundtracked the art of the tease with some of our most memorable cabaret moments today. Effortlessly intertwining a modern day edge with themes of empowerment and self-belief\, this show is perfectly palatable for any generation. \nWith Sophie’s powerhouse vocals and Tink’s award-winning sideshow burlesque stylings\, deLightfully Scarlet is more than your typical jazz burlesque set. Nightly prizes will be awarded to Best Dressed\, so buckle up those corsets and dust off those rhinestones.\n​​​​​​​\nDarwin\, this is the affair you’ve been waiting for! \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: Adult Themes\, Examples of/ references to sexism\, Nudity\, Sexual References\, Smoke or haze \nAccess: \n\nLicensed Venue\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW
