The Adventure of Iron Pussy

More info & tickets

Zany adventures in this campy musical about Iron Pussy, who spends their days working at 7-Eleven and their nights as a glamourous superheroine. The Thai government brings in the cross-dressing secret agent who infiltrates a castle dressed as a maid to investigate a suspicious shipment of money.

The makers treat the audience to upbeat genre parodies of much-loved Thai musicals and melodramas from their childhoods including singing cameos by Thailand’s former prime minister and minister of health.
