Which goes along with my own theory that Nessus is a post-Alexandria.\n(Oh, I know, I know, no one wants to hear this. But it's a lovely theory,\nand I can go on and on and......on.)\n\nNice to see all you Brits aboard. So I'll throw in a Brit recommendation.\nThose of you who have some interest in Dr. Talos's play, or just like the\ntheatrical atmosphere, would like Barry Unsworth's -Morality Play-, about a\ntroupe of players, set in 14th century England. The twists in it, and even\nthe general atmosphere, are quite Wolfean.\n\n-alga-"
