| Description |
A disturbing and stunning examination of the Australian stripping industry...Foxy Roxy and Louis work at the Daily Grind adult cinema. The play set in their change room, is mainly centered on conversations between them. Daily Grind was written by an ex-stripper which accounts for the almost palpable aura of honesty. |
