Chit chat - Pervy puppets
But if limb loss isn’t really up your street, don’t fret, Tabard has discovered something equally repulsive.

Gran Teatro Pervarotti. It bills itself as “obscene puppet opera” and is led by artistic director Maria Fuchs-Alcox (Tabard suspects this might be an assumed name).
It describes its work thus - “Our work is multi textured: Arias from the masterworks ‘Frigolletto’ and ‘Don Gayovanni’ manage to reach beyond traditional boundaries and are deeply offensive to almost all sections of society on many different levels. Bigotry, profanity, deviant sexuality and chronic flatulence merge in a cacophony of wrongness.”
Lovely. If that has already put you off, you can find out more at www.pervarotti.com.
Frankly, the mind boggles.
