PERFORMANCE SPACE: MAIN STAGE

New Zealand Premiere

Directed by Conrad Newport

An hilarious comedy about 'over the hill' cleaners who start talking dirty and end up filthy rich!
Three cleaning ladies of 'a certain age' are about to lose their jobs. They might be past their best, beyond their 'sell by date' and over the hill but they certainly won't take redundancy lying down. The women, desperate for the money and with the nous to know that no-one will hire aging cleaners, innovatively get notions from a phone caller who thinks he has called a phone sex chat line. Hesitant at first, Olive, the former Girl Guide leader, and the somewhat reserved Gladys are convinced by Elsie that the three could make a phenomenal amount of loot in their last weekend.
And so begins the fun, the humour, the string of jokes and innuendo as the newly christened 'Telephone Belles' work the sex lines!
Dirty Dusting is a side-splitting comedy about friendship and solidarity that will appeal whether you're 28 or 88!
