Music, song, dance, intrigue, love affairs, confetti cannons, swordfights and death. Solo show. Fast and funny. We kid you not. Tom Thumb, a little hero with a great soul, having killed the giants, arrives at King Arthur's court to woo the lovely and highly sexual Princess Huncamunca. The Princess falls in love with Lord Grizzle and Thumb simultaneously. The Queen gets drunk. A rebellion is squelched, and Merlin reveals the fate of our little hero. He will someday be eaten by a red cow of larger than usual size. Life is short, art is long, and love, well, love is simply eternal. | |||||
