Published 3rd Nov 2006 by Chris Challis

Welcome to the world of Voodoo Vaudeville, where sinister figures stalk the shadows in a luscious never-never land of defiant performance, deviant theatricality, twisted cabaret, cruel yet tender comedy and cutting edge contemporary dance.

Voodoo Vaudeville the legendary Brighton-based contemporary vaudeville company, hit Edinburgh this August with the premiere of their latest show Skin of the Moon at the Assembly Rooms. Led by Voodoo’s founder, new variety veteran Chris Cresswell, a stellar cast of five will sing, dance, and clown their way through a time traveling tale of forbidden love in a sensational, sexy blend of vaudeville theatre, comedy and film. Expect to encounter fiendish B-movie characters, burlesque theatricals, wicked wit, the notorious puppet oracle Baby Warhol and a sprinkling of audience participation in this charmingly outrageous and twisted Victorian romp through the mists of time.
