Ladies Night by Anthony Mccarten
The ultimate night out - and not only for the girls Ladies Night tells the story of five Liverpudlian men on the dole who decide to form a male stripping act. As they try to raise a fast buck, they pitch the idea to a local club owner and take lessons from a slightly shop-worn dance instructor with a heart-of-gold in all manner of things, including what women really want from a male stripper - and how to deliver it. Written in 1987 by Anthony McCarten and Stephen Sinclair, Ladies Night was a global theatrical hit. It has been translated into sixteen languages and remains New Zealand's most commercially successful play of all time. After eight sell-out tours of Britain, it went on to win The Moli re Prize, France's premiere theatre award for comedy, in 2001.
Anthony McCarten’s debut novel, Spinners, won international acclaim, and was followed by The English Harem and the award winning Death of a Superhero, all three books being translated into many languages. McCarten has also written twelve stage plays, including the worldwide success Ladies’ Night, which won France’s Molière Prize, the Meilleure Pièce Comique, in 2001. Also a film-maker, he has thrice adapted his own plays or novels into feature films which he directed himself. Stephen Sinclair is a New Zealand film, theatre and television writer. As a screenwriter, he has worked with director Peter Jackson on Meet the Feebles, Braindead and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. He has also directed several short films, including Home Video and Ride, which was selected for the Montreal Film Festival in 2004.
