JOIN THE GRAND GUIGNOLERS ON A LUXURY CRUISE TO SHANGHAI.
ELEGANT. DANGEROUS. BLOODY. NAUGHTY.
Don your best cocktail and/or vintage attire and join the Grand Guignolers on a 1920s luxury
cruise to Shanghai. Come early for on-board entertainment at 8pm: period photos, Charleston, Flashlight Follies, tango, absinthe & tea , songs and dance. Set sail at 8:30
(showtime) to Shanghai, the most decadent city of the 1920s.
After docking, meet Sing Song girls
(Chinese geishas) and The Green Gang in Sing Song Girl Sing Last Song, a dancing/brawling
movement based melodrama. Witness spectacle and magic in the absinthe fueled hallucinations
of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Visit a sinister opium den in The Cabinet of Hands by Chris Bell, a
Grand Guignol play about a Madame with a penchant for collecting hands. And see hypnosis and
ventriloquism turn deadly performed by the ever popular, Petits Guignolers, a French finger
puppet troupe.
