The Deadfly Ensemble

"Mother, I am hungry for some musical theater! I long for acoustic guitars, medieval melodies and operatic librettos! I would hear stories of the idle rich, humanoid anomalies, and criminal geniuses of the early nineteenth century! I need to observe the melodious consumption of fruit and the sifting through of old newspapers and listen to the prattle of simple minds and the banter of their superiors! I crave songs that deliver me into new worlds from far away, from long ago, and introduce me to characters I'd be, otherwise, afraid to know! Mother, I am hungry for some theatrical music!"

"My dear! What you want is the Deadfly Ensemble!"
