When is underbelly razor starting

A bloody feud between Sydney's two most powerful women - who between them pretty much ran the city back in the late s and into the 30s - started over a dog. A fluffy little pomeranian pooch to be exact. In , all hell broke loose when brothel owner Tilly Devine stole "sly grog" queen Kate Leigh's beloved mutt. Of course, there was more to it than just the dog, because Devine, played by fellow New Zealand actress, Chelsie Preston Crayford, was already muscling in on Leigh's patch and biffo between the two was inevitable.

These Aussie crime queens and their gangs, and other ruthless crims from this heady era of illegal booze and drugs, prostitution and gambling, are the focus of Underbelly: Razor starting September 28 at 8. It was a hell of a time to be a crook; with police cracking down on guns, the weapons of choice became razors - hence the razor gangs label - and many people were maimed, disabled, or killed as they tried to cash in on the illicit trades in the Sydney suburbs of Darlinghurst aka Razorhurst , Surry Hills and Kings Cross.

The underbelly was ruthless: be it Tilly trawling the unmarried mums' ward at the hospital for potential new prostitutes, or the brutal bashings dished out by Melbourne heavy Norman Bruhn who was on his own personal mission to get to the top of the heap in "Pussy Town". She is unashamedly in control. But Kate is still a mother, a homemaker, and she really enjoys a lot of the aspects of being a woman. Romantic Comedy. Social contemporary. Any country. New Zealand.
