Fringe poster boy TJ Dawe comes home with another Pick of the Fringe monologue. This time, it's Jack London. From the perspective of a boxcar-hopping hobo, Dawe presents a primer on bums, trains, and a life on the "road". It's a world of nicknames and adventure, bitter railway cops, chases, tall tales and narrow escapes, buoyed by the jargon of the turn-of-the-century tramp.
This is beautifully told wisdom not without a climax of brutality that will make you wince.
