Mayhem: A Night of Dangerous Glamour and Wicked Indulgence
The Festivalists are it again, this time using their interactive happenings to immerse us in the 1920s underworld. In cahoots with Sydney Living Museums, they're creating a one-night-only time machine powered by cocktails, card tricks and a hint of criminality.
Overview
If Friday nights out have slipped into a monotonous routine (same bars, same drinks, same tipsy visit to Lord of the Fries), then Mayhem at the Justice and Police Museum may present a scintillating alternative. Sydney Living Museums are in cahoots with The Festivalists (the folks behind the much-loved Jurassic Lounge) to create this one-night-only opportunity to experience the underworld of Sydney's 1920s and '30s.
The exact details are suitably mysterious, but from what we can gather, you can expect a speakeasy-style environment, with entertainment including live music, illusionists and burlesque dancers. Activity-wise, you can polish up your card tricks, shoot your own silent film (yes please) and indulge in a spot of tattoo design, amongst other things. Oh and there's supper and cocktails, naturally, served up in the "sly-grog den".
Ticket price includes entry, the full activities list, entertainment, a meal and your first drink. Prizes will be awarded for most impressive costumes so feel free to unleash your inner gangster/moll to the fullest.
