There’s a corpse on the cover, a detective on the dustjacket, and a story beaten to a pulp. Take a walk along the mean streets and bright lights of one dame’s imagination. Original pulp covers come to life to wisecracks and gunshots, bebop and bootleg, high-stakes and low-cut dresses held up by two things.
‘Shoot From The Hip’ is a thrilling detective story, inspired by images of violence, lust and crime from one of Australia’s largest private collections of paperback covers. Featuring a femme fatale and a private dick, classic 1940s fashions, a jazz-inspired original soundtrack and licentious speakeasy atmosphere.
From the producers of ‘Royals: the True History of the Child Queen Isabelle’ and ‘Monologue for a Murderer’ and ‘Improvilicious: the Improvised History of Theatre’.
