KAPITALISM IS YOUR FRIEND!
Franzi has been asleep since 1989. She fell into a coma in East Berlin and has woken to a world where the Wall has fallen and capitalism has thrown one hell of a party. Can she navigate this brave new world?

From international performer April Albert, KAPITALISM IS YOUR
FRIEND! is a rollicking dark comedy where political systems, the patriarchy, and David Hasselhoff collide. Dancing may be required.

The first season of this show was originally created and performed for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (2017) under the title The Wart on my Breast (Brustwarz) with director Rachel Baring and creative collaborator Michael Cutrupi at Aeso Studios, Fitzroy.
