{"product_id":"blaque-showgirls-nakkiah-lui-9781760627874","title":"Blaque Showgirls","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlumage! Puns! Political incorrectness gone mad! Griffin Theatre Company is proud to present: Blaque Showgirls! A lonely kid in rural Australia, fair-skinned Sarah Jane Jones is deathly sure of two things: 1. She's the best dancer in the whole town of Chithole, and 2. She's a proud Aboriginal woman. There's very little proof of either of these things. So, when a long-lost photograph offers hope of her Indigenous ancestry, Sarah Jane high-tails it to the glitziest casino in Brisvegas. Her mission? To land a role in the First Nations burlesque spectacular: 'Blaque Showgirls'... by any means necessary. \u003cem\u003eBlaque Showgirls\u003c\/em\u003e is Nakkiah Lui's sparkly, smart-arsed spoof of the so-bad-it's-good cinematic masterpiece Showgirls. The luminous Stephanie Somerville (\u003cem\u003eChalkface\u003c\/em\u003e) fan kicks her way to the front of the chorus line, going head-to-head with all-dancing, all-diamanted drag icon Foxxy Empire! Co-directors Shari Sebbens (\u003cem\u003eSuperheroes, City of Gold\u003c\/em\u003e) and Ursula Yovich (\u003cem\u003eDiving for Pearls, Barbara and the Camp Dogs\u003c\/em\u003e) jam-pack a long-awaited, pint-sized rhinestoned arena spectacular into the SBW Stables Theatre in 2023. Nakkiah Lui pivots improbably smoothly from outrageous hilarity to heartrending pain and injustice in a kind of one-two move that hits you in the gut.' \u003cem\u003eLimelight Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e (for Nakkiah Lui and \u003cem\u003eBlackie Blackie Brown\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nakkiah Lui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760627879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760627874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Currency Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.39w x 0.22d","brand":"Nakkiah Lui","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545897488639,"sku":"9781760627874","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0ee6b48-0ee8-4090-a074-e32c6670598a.jpg?v=1738183642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blaque-showgirls-nakkiah-lui-9781760627874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
