Tintin was intrigued by the advertisement of a new production of a 40 year old drag, camp, psychedelic musical that was being performed at a theatre devoted to Grand Guignol-type productions.  Something convinced him that it would not be a standard drawing room comedy but he wished to check for himself.  And so he did.  And here is what he found.

The theatre's logo seemed to indicate something

And their policy of no refunds to dissatisfied customers seemed a trifle harsh

Yet the accomodations for the audience appeared to be comfortable -

- even decadent

The guy selling the tickets was friendly...

...as were the usherettes

The stage was commodious and well designed

And, during breaks in the performance, cast members were only too happy to POSE for the camera

So what was the play about?  Well, apart from white slavery, exotic locations and opium dreams, the production featured singing and dancing, some comedy, the occasional bared female breast and the equally occasional full frontal male nudity, lots of songs and production numbers - oh, and a happy ending.  Awww!

And, for the second time this month, Tintin ran into Donna Sachet, hostess of the Sunday Drag Brunch at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. Is it coincidence or karma? Ponder that as you head back to the Photopage List, why don't yah?
