David Gordon's DANCING HENRY FIVE Opens at Peak Performances, 10/6-9
by BWW
News Desk - Oct 9, 2011
David Gordon has the rare gift of slyly slipping profound commentary into what appears a wacky good time. Example: 'DANCING HENRY FIVE,' which will be revived after four years at Peak Performances, October 6-9.
