The Wives of Wolfgang
Presented by Backyard Theatre Collective.
Dear Friends, Family, Acquaintances & Perfect Strangers, we must inform you of the death of Wolfgang. Survived by his wife, we pray his soul will rest, somewhat, in peace. After a sold-out season at Brisbane Powerhouse, The Wives of Wolfgang is taking its sexy, charming and darkly funny cabaret on tour. Featuring original music & accompanied by electric guitar, it explores lust, lovers, grief & wine. Written by Queensland Premier's Drama Award finalist Hannah Belanszky, it's like 'The Stepford Wives' meets 'Chicago'.
AWARDS
The Wives of Wolfgang was awarded Adelaide Fringe 2020 Weekly Award for BEST CABARET.
