In a society where we no longer know who’s living next door, Dixie Longate has come to gather lost souls together in the name of unique and durable airtight kitchen products, whilst making a modest living along the way and provide for herself and her three children, of course.
Sitting in the audience is like being trapped in the campest cheesiest late-night infomercial, one that leaves you not just wanting to buy the product but sends you flipping through your address book wondering who you can invite to your own tupperware party. Somewhere between the lesbian jokes and rimming race (which has to be experienced to be believed) there’s a rather sweet undertone here, a call for self-betterment and personal empowerment.
Get yourself a ticket, get there early so you can get your raffle name tag and catalogue and then get ready to be educated in how the joy of tupperware can enrich your life, whether drink driving or inviting the neighbours’ kids round to “mow your lawn”. Be warned – audience participation is high on Dixie’s agenda, so if you’re shy avoid the front row. Dixie joins the ranks of Dame Edna, Tina C and Pam Ann as a raunchy, overbearing but in the end very loveable character, albeit one who refers to her audience members as hookers. She engages the audience up close, rather than creating a separate world on the stage.
Possibly the funniest and delightfully outrageous show this year. Definitely the beginning of a tupperware revival!
