In Defence of Beards!

Award-winning beardsman Jack Passion

Lingering Disappointments and High Hopes

Hannibal

Instead of going on at length about a single show that has me fully entranced by its beauty, I’m going to go after a few shows. One that disappoints, and a couple that I await with the most bated of breaths. Saving the best for last, I want to start by addressing a show called …
