Poster by Ray Gorlin

A PLAY ABOUT THE GREAT FRENCH WINE BLIGHT
(YOU KNOW THE ONE)

Two French sisters and their genderqueer sibling face off against flamethrower-wielding German vintners, an amoral American aphid, and a foreign agricultural trade crisis in the greatest showdown of the mid-19th century. Join local wine specialist Solar Champion for an evening of casual theatregoing, heavy drinking, and the history of a canonically-neglected catastrophe.
