Fringe Day 7: I dropped my hat in the toilet!

The Three Sisters: A Black Opera in Three

This is what Fringe is really about. Technically based on Chekov's work (and now I want to read it to see just how much came from there), it's a wild, gothic and darkly funny piece of musical theatre about a transvestite who puts his/her three daughter up for auction in order to save the farm. Comes complete with fantastic makeup, accordions, a swing doubling as a window to great effect, and the best villian catchphrases ever ("Poooork"). Bizarre and gory and truly excellent.

Mitchell!

I hear a rumour that the AC at one of the theatres has been fixed, so I might try to get into a few of those shows this weekend - there were a bunch at that theatre that I wanted to see. Also, contemplating sneaking out early (read: making up excuses) to go see something else.

Goddammit, I forgot to say "mitchell" when things went pear-shaped at work this morning. It probably would have fixed everything.

I know, but it was so, so funny.

Normally the washroom is all tired sweaty urgently-needing-to-pee annoyed-at-being-in-another-damn-line women; as soon as she said that it was full of women giggling uncontrollably.
