Rhinoceros
Mrs. Claus’ kitchen is the setting for this dark and elegant psychological thriller. Written by newcomer Daniel Tobias, Not Even a Mouse continues the suspenseful tradition of Angel Street, Night Must Fall, and Ladies in Retirement, where the meek must outwit the villainous while tiptoeing the delicate edge of Edwardian propriety. Expect a shadowy atmosphere laden with rich repartee, thinly veiled passions, detailed Edwardian costumes and furniture, and, of course, murder. "The Lost of the Red-Tasseled Spear" @ ODC Theater An intimate look at the inner side of Chinese women's life: "The
Lost of the Red-Tasseled Spear" ("The Lost") reveals the
struggling and confusion of young women, who were members of the Red Guard,
after the Cultural Revolution in 1970s is the inspiration for a new world
premiere for 2 selected movements of this new work by Lily Cai which will take
place at 8 p.m. on December 9 and 10 as the Lily Cai Chinese Dance Company
presents its 2005 Home Season at the ODC Theater in San Francisco. In addition,

Girls," and "Beyond." PERFORMANCES: 3153 17th St @ Shotwell Street, SF |
