Happening inside the festival marquee set up just outside the Nova Scotia Hotel/Pub!Written by Wendy Buonaventura, DARK VENUS CABARET takes a light-hearted look at some hilarious ideas about women from the past two centuries, via dramatised extracts from her book DARK VENUS and some feisty, defiant songs. The show looks at the myth of the femme fatale, the dangerous, irresistible woman. The belief that women are wild and rapacious was especially popular in the 19th and early 20th century in Western culture; in the arts, in science and medicine.

The show will be performed by Katina Noble, Kenneth Bell and Sophie Howard with Johnie Gush on piano and sounds and Carola Hengstenberg on violin.
