Why see Tender?

Welcome To The club

From the acclaimed creative duo behind Tambo & Bones, writer Dave Harris and director Matthew Xia deliver a provocative and tender new play about masculinity, performance, and escape. Set inside a world of red lights, the show follows three performers pushed to confront what they sell, what they hide and what it costs to stay inside the fantasy. 

What's The Story?

“The Dancing Bears” is in trouble. Once a busy strip club, it now struggles to fill seats - barely ten covers on a Saturday night and just one booking on the horizon. Down the street, a new rival club is pulling in crowds of fifty women a night with slick, high-energy performances that leave The Dancing Bears looking outdated and forgotten.

Everything changes when the boss’s daughter arrives. Faced with a failing business and a dying brand, she realises the club needs more than a refresh - it needs a reinvention. And fast.
