| Description |
Based on the life of Flora MacKenzie, New Zealand's most notorious madam. The production contrasts two vivid periods in Auckland's history: the glamorous and stylish 1940s, when women wore silk stockings (if they were lucky), World War Two raged and the Americans invaded our shores. This was the period in which Flora flourished; the party never stopped and Flora was the ultimate host. But by the 1970s, the flavour had taken a sour turn. No longer gay and jolly, Flora's life was more like a tawdry cabaret, with police busts thrown in to further demoralise her. |
