The stage itself juts forward like a mammoth home plate with a blunted tip, while a rear portico of four columns supports an upper platform.

Your table d'hote, your a la carte, Your land, your history, your art. From now on you can keep the lot. Take every single thing you've got, Your land, your wealth, your...
