Introduction

In a future universe consumed by eco-wars and the persecution of plastic, a notorious planet, Frottage III, offers refuge to the depraved in the shape of Saucy Jack's - a dark and seedy cabaret club presided over by the alluring and charismatic Saucy Jack himself. Here a vagabond cast of cabaret artistes perform twice nightly for a clientèle who, largely, are far more interested in their own clandestine affairs than the entertainment laid on by their host, Saucy Jack. However, all is not well at Saucy Jack's - danger lurks in every corner. Jack's cabaret performers are being picked off one by one by a ruthless serial killer - the only clue is the heel of a sequinned Sling back thrust into the chest of each victim. But, in true showbiz fashion, the show must go on!<ref>Saucy Jack on Wikipedia</ref>

With a pumping disco soundtrack and outrageous costumes, this should be a lot of fun!

Cast

Pre-show artistes

Character

  • 'Saucy' Jack De 'Ath - Former stage magician who, with glamorous assistant Honey Tipps, was the toast of cabaret throughout the galaxy. Now, fallen on harder times, he's the proprietor of Saucy Jack's Cabaret Bar. Alluring, charming and ruthless - evil, almost without redemption.
  • Honey Tipps/Jubilee Climax - Leader of the Vixens. The quintessential Space Vixen - tough talking, crime fighting and a little icy to boot.
  • Bunny Lingus - Space Vixen. Devoted to the cause - if there's a crime, she'll fight it. Been around the block a few times. Big hearted with a bit of a thing for motorbikes.
  • Anna Labia - Space Vixen. New recruit on her first mission, keen to make a good impression. Astrology plays a big part in her life and she's for looking that special someone - preferably a Virgo! Also seems to have a weakness for hot sax!
  • Booby Shevalle - Cocktail waitress at Saucy Jack's. If she ever was glamorous it's long since faded. Dreams of getting out and becoming a Space Vixen.
  • Shirley Tristar/Chesty Prospects - Intergalactic plastics smuggler and no-nonsense biker chick. Takes it where she can get it - whatever it is.
  • Sammy Sax - House saxophonist. Talented, gullible and lacking in confidence and drive - in fact could be described as a bit wet. Dreams of finding love and success but is unlikely to find either at Saucy Jack's.
  • Dr Wilhelm von Whackoff - Half Psychoanalyst, half bar-fly, half weirdo! Seems to have more than a passing interest in Mitch, the barman. Somewhat Freudian
  • Mitch Maypole - Barman at Saucy Jack's. Pretty and always ready with a sympathetic ear or a friendly word, he also mixes a mean Zargon Slicer. A consummate barman he seems to be hiding some sort of secret.
  • Vulva Savannah
