“Where were you the night the Gaybird Steamer ran off her tracks?”
Dandy Darkly’s latest storytelling saga is a Southern Gothic tall tale as told by the survivors of that tragic Halloween night – from the little boy chased by the ghosts that still haunt her as an adult to the cruel Colonel buried in his bunker, tinkering with his sinister toys. Dandy Darkly’s All Aboard! is a raucous uprooting of Deep South stigma served alongside a heaping helping of sizzling social satire and howling humor. Enjoy a dripping earful of Southern Gothic grotesquery: creepy country robots, African spider gods, beauty shop gossip and inbred family freakery — oh, and trains.
