I reviewed Another F*cking Variety Show for Everything Theatre: I confess I am extremely partial to the Wonderground’s beautiful Spiegeltent. Every time I walk into those lush red velvet surroundings I instantly want to run away with the circus. Any show benefits from such a transporting atmosphere and Lili La Scala’s Another F*cking Variety Show is no … Continue reading
