Tuesday 13 May 2008

Enigma [Venue 2]

Admission Free


2 Alis & a G, thinly disguised as themselves, perform separate sets of their work, thus enabling the remaining two to talk loudly, heckle, drink, and, in the case of the 2 Alis being offstage, sharpen their knitting needles. At the end of the evening please feel free to buy/rent thousands of copies of our books — What Young Ladies Are Interested In, April's Pish and Crustaceans of the Heart. With Gerard Rochford in the G(uest) Spot.
