THE KRANSKY SISTERS VISIT WARWICK IN JULY

Queensland Arts Council presents The Kransky Sisters - Three Bags Full.  "A musical act like no other.  If dame edna ever retired to the outback and procreated, the result might be something like the Kranskys".  The Scotsman, Edinburhg 2006.  Drawing a cult following wherever they go, these three curious and dysfuncitonal siblings are darkly and strangely alluring.  After sell-out international shows and regular TV appearances including the ABC's The Sideshow, many are intrigued to know their meloncholy magnetism. Using bizarre musical equipment to accompany popular songs and off-beat stories The Kransky Sisters are a magnetic musical comedy act not to be missed! SOLD OUT!
