sign of things to come...


a new summer experience is coming to Sorrento...
30 shows in 30 days in a big tent...
Spiegel Zelt (mirror tent) pays tribute to George Coppin (1819-1906),
the father of Sorrento and the father of theatre -
he promoted the early days of Melbourne theatre life
and was himself a comic actor and entrepreneur...
(Carmel of Sorrento was a guest house owned by him...
Coppin celebrated the seaside life of Sorrento by establishing the Sorrento Steam Navigation Company and the Mechanics' Institute)
Spiegel tents originated in Belgium in the late19th century.
They were like travelling dance halls....


mirrors of
yesterday's theatrical
velvets and music

I like that the signage is printed on a stub.
