The creative talents behind the UK's Sh!t Theatre are coming to Newtown's Old 505 Theatre to share their love for Dolly Parton as part of Sydney Fringe.
In a slight departure from their explicitly political acts, Sh!t Theatre is coming in hot, to deliver a show celebrating the woman, the myth, the legend: Dolly Parton – and sometimes Dolly the sheep. The storyline follows their personal accounts from a very necessary excursion to ‘Dollywood’, the Parton-themed amusement park in Tennessee. The tale is recounted with the same kind of inventive and anarchic spirit you'd expect from two women who rock up on stage dressed as two giant boobs – which is exactly what happens.
But it’s not all blonde wigs, diamontes, bare breasts and country music; the show is spiked with themes of immortality, plasticity, decay and even cloning.
