We made it in September when one of our historic Georgian theatres re-opened with a live production of this play.<BR/><BR/>We do have a nice wrapping paper reproducing Pollock's Pantomime characters.<BR/><BR/>I do appreciate your wanting to help us rather than the Scala Street pirates. In between, there is Peter Baldwin's Covent Garden shop www.pollocks-coventgarden.co.uk<BR/><BR/>He has various forms of theatres, including ours and the ones they are now doing at Scala Street, so it is hard to maintain hard divisions between the conflicting parties, and ultimately that won't solve our problems anyway.<BR/><BR/>with best wishes, Alan<BR/>________________<BR/><BR/>Phew.

Looked at it for a day or so, couldn't find a good source to verify it was the real thing and let it be. A very slim volume of translated freemason symbols, supposedly printed in 200 copies and given to friends of Crowley's. I'll always regret not buying that.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557092226753597222noreply@blogger.com
