The dark world of Wrongtown will not be to everyone’s taste, in terms of subject matter this is probably polar opposite to The Loverbirds’ glitzy vibrant offering over in the Garden but that does not mean this cabaret show is any less fun.  In Homicide and Homecooking double-act Rose Sejean and Adelaide-born Claire Bowden deliver …
