The story of Gwendolyn Magnificent and Bartholomew Spectacular starts with demanding dragon fruits and ends with heartache whispered into the ears of birds and constellations.
With spoons, water glasses, whirly-winds and a mandolin, they create the sounds and images of a landscape forever altered by regret.
Part storytelling, part concert, this is a tale of love heard best through a tin-can telephone.

TOP 5 CRITICS PICK – OTTAWA CITIZEN
“Part fairy tale, part vaudeville routine, part old-fashioned love story, this piece adds up to one outstanding hour. Songs, some audience involvement and a frequently lyrical script round out this sure-fire hit.” – Patrick Langston, Ottawa Citizen
“This is the show that the Decemberists would create if they pursued theatre on a break from touring as a band, and if they got Roald Dahl to direct them.” — Amy Salloway, writer/performer
