Jailhouse Frocks

26th Nov -13th Dec 2025.
New Plymouth Little Theatre
Shattering dim-witted Officer Dwayne’s tranquil evening at the Birchwood County Police Station is the arrests of three unlikely women; the mayors wife, the local crazy cat lady and a dangerous looking New Yorker. The already chaotic situation descends into mayhem with the arrival of a New York gangster, disguised as an FBI agent, hell bent on exacting revenge on his wife. By the end of the night, the ladies have formed a gang, sang some songs, escaped from jail and created so much chaos it leaves Office Dwayne wondering how on earth he has managed to make the arrest of a life time!
