Smoke and Mirrors
Presented by JJ Jones and Lily Shaw
Mirror, Mirror, rules apply - you pay to look, not question why
Smoke and Mirrors pulls you into a world where nothing is quite as it seems.
Set inside The Fox’s Tail but far beyond cliché, this bold and intoxicating show peels back the glitter to reveal the women beneath it — fierce, flawed, and gloriously complex.
It’s a dance between power and performance, between what’s sold and what’s felt, between the fantasy you pay for and the truth you weren’t ready to see.
Seductive, razor-sharp, and laced with heart, Smoke and Mirrors isn’t just a night out — it’s an invitation to look deeper.
