That's why I love The Empty Space...

If my calculations are correct, there aren't any theatre productions playing this weekend (aside from Man of La Manca at Rabobank). Everything has closed, and no local production is opening until November 31st. Is that possible? Wowsers.

What is Fuddy Meers? What does it mean? Is it a concept? A person's name, perhaps a long lost relative of Elmer Fudd? What do those words signify? What is the play about?
I don't want you to know. I think you will be better off if you don't.
