THE Politico-Satirical-post-modern Vaudeville to see in the run up to the elections.

What is it? Why it's a Fable, of course… in which the Prophelization of Cassandra puts in question the re-Emperation of Georgie Porgie. Will he and RummaLumLum find the mysterious Box of Power? And will they be able to wrest it from li'l orphan Chickabiddy Pandora? And when Georgie sells his soul to Old Nick, will opening the Box fulfill the wishes of the High PowderPuff, or will the Tienamenskies rule the day? And wouldn't you know it? Time is running out!
