Cigar Smokes

A tiny but loud announcement: Most fabulous piece of writing in ages is TJ Dawe and Michael Rinaldi's Toothpaste and Cigars, performed by Rinaldi and Tallulah Winkelman. 'Ckin' 'ell! Guaranteed, a romantic play which truly makes you think you should date more. Ever finish a lacklustre swill-and-shuffle without spouting a single shaggable line? Imagine a play made up of all the beautiful lines you thought of two weeks later in one hour. Mesmerising, funny, touching (Holy Cats! Even for cynics?) and etc. Can I buy a copy, Rinaldi?
