About the show: A novelist is close to despair. Her fiery new heroine refuses to conform to the plot. Fuelled by her intense passion for adventure, she escapes the boundaries of the manuscript and sets off to live her dream of dancing tango in the smoky salons of Buenos Aires.
What follows is an exciting comic journey of sultry romance and high drama. The Suitcase Milonguera will plunge you into the torrid underworld of tango. With her suitcases, red tango shoes and sensitive nose, Nicole Rourke delivers an uncompromising slice of Irish Magic Realism at its passionate, hilarious best.
