FAN MAIL

One of the lesser-known joys of being a journalist is getting mail from crazy people. The more capitals and backwards letters, the crazier they are - I'm sure this can be clinically proven. See below the response to my recent review of The Wau Wau Sisters' Last Supper at the Fringe, which you can read below.

THE REVIEW

IN their own words the Wau Wau's show could easily be renamed Cirque du T & A. The southern belles use a fast-paced mixture of bawdy ditties and barely concealed ... flesh, to razz up the crowd as they cavort towards their grand finale - the last supper.

The New York girls are deliciously profane - Jesus would be turning in his grave at these girls' take on religion, if he hadn't already left it that is.

The acrobatics start off impressive but the trapeze routine at the end is the real showcase for the sisters' talents and the grand finale certainly doesn't leave the crowd wondering. While it is placed at a manageable 6pm some nights, the midnight timeslot on weekends really serves up a crowd ready to enjoy this blasphemous bacchanal.
