4--Showtimes: Just to let you know, as City Paper's Trey Graham says in his blog:
"Capital Fringe has a strict no-late-seating policy, so consider yourself warned."
This is true!
Bill in the box office (whom Trey's blog aptly describes as: "always unflappable and eager to help") tells me he had to turn a few latecomers away from In Pursuit of the English Rose !
:-(

5--Your reviews! You can post your reviews of In Pursuit of the English Rose on Trey's blog, on The Washington Post, and on DC Theatre Reveiws.com.

If you enjoyed this show, please post your positive comments!

Post to City Paper's "Fringe and Purge" blog (isn't that just too City Paper cute?) to:
fringe@washingtoncitypaper.com

Mr Graham requests you limit your comments to 150 words, please, and writes:
"I'll post the best ones here -- and award Washington City Paper T-shirts (in which everyone, without exception, looks irresistibly sexy) to the authors of reviewlets I particularly like."

More information will appear here (with updated heading) about posting to The Washington Post; you can try posting to the wonderful folks at

Thank you all for your support!
