"It is true, the spoken word enlightens both the spirit and the soul. Indeed, the HENDRICK’S Master Distiller can often be heard talking at length to her ‘two little sweeties’ – the delightful and peculiarly small copper pot stills from which the most unusual gin flows." |
A Special Valentine's Day
EROTIC MAGIC LANTERN SHOW
with Professor Mervyn Heard
Monday 14th February 2011
Two seatings:
1st - Doors at 6 pm, Show commences at 7
2nd - Doors at 8 pm, Show commences at 9
British voyeurs of the late nineteeenth century had to suffice with the constraints of peering through a mutoscope simply to grab a glance of what the butler saw while their French counterpart could enjoy an entire lantern show of amours. Professor Mervyn Heard seeks to rebalance the spectrum a century later with this special Christmas show of antique French erotic slides. Ooh la la indeed
