Necromancers Of The Public Domain Returns to the Tank
![]()
Each month, Theater of the Apes plucks a long forgotten volume from the shelves of the New York Society Library to resurrect as Necromancers of the Public Domain, a 1-night-only NYC variety show.
Up next: Wooings and Weddings in Many Climes by Louise Jordan Miln (1900)
In the slimy rivers that slug through the African tangles, there are hippopotami that are beautiful in their love of mate and their need of love. And we who are human, and therefore count ourselves on the top mammalian rung of the animal ladder, have never yet accomplished anything higher than the virtue of loyal love and the need of love.
