2021 Orlando Fringe Festival – Episode 3
Fun and games at The Abby, one of the off site venues
Carl F. Gauze is a wealthy but reclusive student of the arts, semi-retired from a stellar career as an insurance calendar salesman. His real fortune derives from his great grandfather, Herman S. Gauze, who invented a sterile surgical dressing in Zurich shortly before the First World War, amassing a vast fortune selling it to both sides. Carl has recently been looking at bikes, and can’t decide between a Harley Fat Boy or a Vespa. Decisions, decisions.
