The forthcoming new production of the musical The Stripper tells the story of police Lieutenant Al Wheeler as he struggles to solve the mystery of the death of wannabe actress Patty Keller. First call was delectable Deadpan Dolores, a strawberry blonde who worked at the Club Extravaganza. She didn't usually keep things under wraps, so what was she hiding? With a nose for crime and an eye for the ladies, Wheeler will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth.

Set in the seedy world of strip joints and dodgy dating agencies - The Stripper is based on an pulp fiction novel by Carter Brown whose hugely successful career saw him write more than 150 crime stories which sold in excess of seventy million copies.

Featuring strippers, cops and sexy secretaries, the cast is peopled by classic archetypes from the world of the dime novel.

This burlesque and bullets musical theatre adaptation is by Richards O'Brien and Hartley who are best known for their collaboration on the ever popular Rocky Horror Show. The show will open at Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch on August 28th, prior to a short UK tour.
