The Dirty Thirty is a collection of thirty original plays which Degenerate Fox will valiantly attempt to perform within just one hour. These plays could be anything - comedy scenelets, dramatic monologues, intricate dances, games, songs, experiences - and stuff there just isn't a definitive name for. Each week, Degenerate Fox create new material to add to the menu, creating an ever-changing smorgasbord of theatrical delights.
Degenerate Fox Theatre are the bastard lovechild of The Neo-Futurists and a full English breakfast. We produce theatre that removes all artifice: we are here, we are us, you are you, the time is now. We will engage, titillate, confront, expose, encourage, confess and, above all, entertain.
With The Dirty Thirty, we invite you to come and be a part of a show in which each performance is an irreproducible, living newspaper of the comic and tragic, the political and personal, the visceral and experimental.
And if you've seen the show once? You've seen the show once. Just that one time.
