The Dastardly Ficus is Unmissibly Good

REVIEWS ARE IN!

Be amazed and delighted thru April 4th at the Chopin theatre, dear readers. The times they are tough like a bit of ill cut and badly charred roast beef yet we forge bravely ahead! Edwardian boots on feet, Striped stocking pulled up to the knee, empty bird cages and antique settees in place and ready to entertain you.

Now is the time when your support for things like magical realism matters most. The large mechanical elephants and evil potted plants of the world will be the better for it.

The Dastardly Ficus is delightful!
