Puppetry of the Penis at Adelaide Fringe (NSFW-ish)
We showed up a little early for the show. I was already running between Fringe performances across the city — earlier in the night at the Royal Croquet Club along the Adelaide riverside, but with a 9:30 performance at the Garden of Unearthly Delights, I quickly jetted across the city in a $10 cab ride. We were meeting outside the venue, my new friend Jay having bought the tickets.
Like so many Fringe performances, you never really know what you’re going to get. But this was a sold-out show and it’s been traveling around the world for a while already, this latest version having spent the past two years as a Las Vegas show. Plus it’s got that name that’s certain to attract people: Puppetry of the Penis. I’d scoured their Flash-based website before the performance out of a mix of anticipation and curiosity (and let’s be honest: I was looking for dick). Was it really going to be just like the title implies? Well, I’m not here to spoil the surprises, but yes—yes it…
