"A Play in Five Acts"

Return with us now to a post from June 28th, 2014, and BE ASTOUNDED with the text that accompanied a very basic cross titled "Supporting Capital Punishment for 2000 Years Plus" - - -

Original IBL art - ink on torn coaster, 3.25 x 3 inches (cross from 2012 and, well, it had just been hanging around for awhile; torn and titled in Hattie's Hat, Ballard) 6/21/14.

To that we will add this - on August 9th, 2017, at Molly's Shebeen, Manhattan, a piece of matchbook was added as well as the table of contents (partial) from a (cerca) 1925 title page from Twelfth Night that my Aunt Margaret owned as a child all those years ago, and now A Play in Five Acts has been realized.
