My Uncle Arly Photo courtesy of UCLA Live
Edward Lear is one of Britain's favorite writers and his
nonsense verse has delighted generations of children and adults alike.
British Theatre Company Hoipolloi transports Lear's imagination to the stage, on a “journey towards the great
Gromboolian plain.
Inspired by his life, poems and illustrations, My
Uncle Arly is
an inventive and engaging production full of music, song and clowning
that delves deep into Lear's Victorian sense of nonsense humor.
March 27-29 at the Freud Playhouse UCLA. Visit here for more information.
