"The missing link between Aeschylus godfather of Greek tragedy, Nietzsche
and Irene Cara, where Nietzsche went beyond good and evil, fusing eighties
power ballads, queer cabaret and Wagnerian opera in predominantly nothing
but a bit of leotard and a pair of nude tights, so Theo Adams boldly goes
beyond irony to produce spectacular discharges of joy and pain that wouldnt
have looked out of place in a Greek amphitheatre circa 500 BC.
