...hoop-pantalooned Lola Montez (Ludwig's grandfather's mistress) with a belt of false teeth, Mr. and Mrs. Sacher Masoch in riding breeches, and enough assorted subconscious erotica to strain the limbo of an experienced psychopath. Meanwhile, at one side of the stage, a moribund, vine-sprouting faun in red tights concentrated on knitting a sock with three-foot knitting needles...
