Not even an hour and a half in London and already got my ear pierced 😅 Been aching to do this for years and finally pulled the trigger on it at a random tattoo studio in Ealing. 10/10, might get a tattoo next time…

Does anyone have a PDF of Ramet's "Yugoslavia in the 1980s", particularly the chapter on apocalypse culture? My university library apparently lacks any knowledge of the fact that Yugoslavia once existed...

Pippin

May 12 - July 26, 2026. Official tickets at Sigtheatre.org. Stephen Schwartz's musical masterpiece of purpose, ambition, lust and glory, thrillingly staged as only Matthew Gardiner can do.
