Schmaltz

By Daniel Schlusser

12 February 2016 – 14 February 2016 Tower Theatre

Malthouse Theatre,

Theatre Cabaret

The show was loosely structured as a talk show format, with a string of actors entering to perform bits around the motif of love. The schmaltz was strong in this production, with self-aware tea metaphors, glitter confetti, an over active smoke machine, and karaoke all employed throughout the night.
