The Voodoo Lounge until 18 Feb
It’s
a sweet position to be in. Hayley Stewart, the proprietor of The Voodoo Lounge (“Setting
the Standard in Adult Entertainment”) believes she has a story worth telling. She
certainly has the means to do it – her cast are on the payroll and, to a large
extent, pre-rehearsed, and if ever there was a site-specific setting, this is
it.
The
good news is that she’s made a pretty good fist of it. There are more than
enough of the things she and her crew are experienced at to satisfy her
existing audience (I’m not the person to ask about the quality of that work,
but I suspect it was up there).
And
while her lack of experience in the things she doesn’t customarily stage showed
at times, she has the intelligence not to try too much or push too hard.
And
she does have quite the story.
