Hi Maria
Thanks so much for your very kind message about The Exquisite Corpse which you posted on the True/Fiction Theatre wall. So very glad you enjoyed the show, and it'd be great to hear any specifics in terms of what you particularyl appreciated about the piece. We are in the process of concocting some ideas for forthcoming projects, and any details will of course be posted on our group. Keep an eye out, and please do keep in touch.
