- The Lookingglas Theatre just did a production of The Arabian Nights, a new
- adaptation of The Book of One Thousand Nights and One Night. They do
- eleven of the stories, one of which is a classic farting scene (in which a
- national holiday is finally proclaimed to honor a prince's world-class
- (thank you Mr. Perot) fart. The production just closed after an extended
- run here in Chicago but the story would be worth reading. Watching
- audience reaction to a protracted fart was about as much fun as watching
- the fart (all sound, nothing odiferous) in action.
-
- Happy Holidays rabbers.
