The Whole Company: World Stage

The world's most exclusive burlesque troupe performs for audiences who can afford anything—and want everything. Vivienne didn't join The Whole Company for the money, though the pay is extraordinary. She joined because nowhere else lets her be exactly who she is: a woman who turns desire into art and art into something far more intimate. When the company's World Stage tour takes them to private venues across Europe, Vivienne discovers that some audiences don't just want to watch. They want to participate. And the company's most exclusive performances aren't on any official schedule. The first book in The Whole Company series explores what happens when the line between performer and performance disappears entirely.
