Created by the multi-award-winning theatre-maker Selina Helliwell, Ember & the Vixens have enjoyed a string of sell-out shows including a ‘Valentine’s Vixens’ event, a glitzy burlesque takeover of Manchester Art Gallery and their recent ‘Belated Birthday Special’ cabaret. Now, this October, scary meets sexy in their creepiest cabaret show yet.
