We're in Sydney in the '20s ....with the underbelly of the criminal world .....where the Queens are fighting it out to be Top Dog [or to be literary correct, Top Bitch] .....that's Queen of Tarts - Tilly Devine - who runs the The Bakery, which specialises in Tilly's Tarts and where that white powder floating in the air has nothing to do with flour or icing sugar! .....and the Bar Queen - Kate Leigh - who reigns supreme over the booze and gambling action in the city.
The gals are at a stalemate and there seems to be an uneasy truce - UNTIL the arrival of a new boy in town all dressed up in robes - er, make that tracky-daks - of misogyny and chauvinism.
Skulduggery, then becomes the game as the various contenders - and wanna-be's - vie to reign top of the heap....including a con couple with a heart for cold hard cash, a doozy chanteuse and a boozy barfly, a creative bookkeeper and a conniving brewer, to mention a few.
You'll need to be in the audience to find out just WHO rises to the top of Th'Underbelly
