Young, fearless and full of wanderlust Sara finds herself in London selling cleaning products in a call centre.

Then she meets Tim, and her path takes an unexpected turn. For these two Aussies living it large in London everything is exhilarating, delightfully dangerous and full of possibility. When a body is discovered in the apartment upstairs the thrill of anonymity gives way to rising horror as Sara finds herself at the very edge of the person she once was.

With originality and poetic wit, Whore is an unflinching exploration of the price of freedom, ambition and the high-risk ride that is coming-of-age. Already a cult figure in the cabaret world, Rick Viede exploded onto the Australian playwriting scene in 2008 with this Griffin Award-winning debut.

The musical soundscape for this contemporary production showcases some of the best local music in Australia. Christopher Hurrell and Arts Radar got together with FBi 94.5FM and asked ten Sydney bands to provide a piece of music to accompany each of the ten scenes in Whore.

The bands include Lions at your Door, Philadelphia Grand Jury, Parades, Circle Pit, Seekae, Catcall and Jack Colwell and the score comprises both existing compositions and new work. The special collectors’ edition of the soundtrack will be available during the season and is currently downloadable for free at www.fbiradio.org.au
