Time Out says

Held in Haymarket’s long-abandoned Harbour City Twin Cinema, Pleasures Playhouse is all about showcasing what exists in the fringes, with the dusty old Chinese movie theatre getting a new lease on life after 15 very dormant years. The venue has been transformed into a dystopian wonderland that links the venue’s old roots with a new, technological future.

Whether it be a wild underground sexuality and body positivity party courtesy of ‘Leak Your Own Noods' or Show us Ya Tips, live music performances by the likes of Alex Lahey and Nai Palm, a ‘raunchy’ cabaret show with an accompanying full live house band,  pop-up Yum Cha, record nights, or Arthouse movie showings accompanied by natural wines from P & V and noodles from Biang Biang, this wild, late night, brazenly bold celebration of subcultures and amazing food has something for everyone. 

Check out the program of events and nab your tickets at pleasuresplayhouse.com.au.
