An immersive audio-visual adaptation of a Maeterlinck Symbolist play about a group of blind people on a walk who realize the sighted priest who'd been leading them has died, leaving them to their own resources to get back to the monastery where they reside. Leaderless people facing a situation they cannot fully comprehend: haven't seen anything like that over the last eight and a half months.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Brandy Crusta: wet the rim of a chilled small wine glass by rubbing it with a lemon slice, and rim the glass with sugar. Pour 2 oz. Cognac, 1/2 oz. each of Curaçao and lemon juice, and 1/4 oz. Maraschino liqueur, with 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into the rimmed glass. Garnish with the longest lemon twist you can manage (if you make it properly long, it's called a horse's neck).
