THORE HOUSE is the name of Australia’s most popular erotic nightclub. The owners name is THORE, hence the name. The club gives the impression of being glamorous and sophisticated, yet if we scratch the surface we’ll see it’s nothing more than a cheap strip club. The play tells the story of five women and three men. The club is the central point in their lives, and as the characters pass through the doors of THORE HOUSE we see the lives of eight very different people. They are all searching for something more in life and from the opening act, all of their stories start to interconnect and we become witnesses to a black comedy that is life.Read more about Thore House here.
