Synopsis
A parody of over-the-top soap operas, Shadazzle follows the melodrama in the lives of a group of friends, centred on Florence Smith (played by Helen Hall) and her fiancé, Fred Flagglebush (Brett Barnett).[5] When Fred decides to hire a "vodka swilling cleaner,"[6] the couple's personal expenses become tighter and Florence is forced to accept a job as an exotic dancer at a local club.[1] She soon becomes the center of an unstable Trevor Shaw's (Jonathan Homer) unwanted affection, that ends in disaster when Trevor crashes the wedding.[1]
Later seasons explore romance, loneliness, and ultimately the murder of Alex Abernathy (Leigh-Anne Homer) and the clash between Florence and her murderer, Billy (Ellis Marsh), all told from the perspectives of Florence and those closest to her.[1]
Each episode of Shadazzle follows the perspective of a different character, with story lines eventually interlinking as the series progresses,[7] and features themes of personal struggle and alcoholism, among others.[8]
