Tickets: €22 - complimentary dance lesson Calling all gangsters and gals to1930s New York.

The City is awash with corruption. Organized crime is rife. The politicians are crooked. Gangsters rule and corruption is currency. All is not what it seems …. The city streets are ruled by Italian, Jewish and Irish gangsters peddling gambling, prostitution and drugs.

Men are pristine in tailored suits with slicked back hair. Glamorous ladies are more naughty than nice …. Smoke fills the air and the glasses are clinking … the mobster attitude is palpable.

Come if you dare to experience New York’s darkest and most flamboyant period. Expect the unexpected.
