The Luck of the Ibis
written by Jonathan A. Goldberg
“Funny, entertaining, and surprisingly poignant... The final scene put a lump in my throat.”
“Between Goldberg’s eccentrically beautiful narrative and Ridgely’s lavishly inventive aesthetic, The Luck of the Ibis is a top flight production. ”
“Stunning theatricality... I laughed hysterically, sat mouth agape in shock.”
A fractured adventure filled with girl detectives, a chupacabra, a museum hidden inside a zeppelin, and . . . shrimp. This soaring fable of fanciful fact and mournful fiction examines the stories we must tell to keep safe in a cruel world.
