TV: Behind the Scenes of THE WILD PARTY

The Wild Party's lust-fuelled story of an affair between two cabaret stars, and the final, fatal party they throw in their seedy Hollywood apartment meant this classic poem was widely banned when it was first published in 1928.

Queenie dances twice a night in the vaudeville, and Burrs is the clown who goes on after her act. In the apartment they share Queenie toys dangerously with Burrs affections, but when they throw a party they drag everyone into their ugly games. Brothers Phil and Oscar play the piano while Jack eyes both of them from the corner, and Queenie's best pal Kate arrives late with a handsome new man on her arm.

Adapted for the stage as a play, Mingled Yarn Theatre's production will honour Joseph Moncure March's poetic prose and Jazz-age roots but will be accompanied by newly recorded music, song and dance and will be performed by just two actors playing multiple roles.
