For me however it is not my usual type of theatre production, my preference is musicals with a feel good, light-hearted theme. Tonight’s play has been much anticipated by myself and my husband, we have been really looking forward to seeing it, he is a retired Police Officer, and we often enjoy watching the latest police drama on T.V together. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is springtime in “The Night of the Comet,” and in the days before Pigott’s comet will pass over their town, Harris’s and Bostock’s thoughts turn to Bostock swoons over Harris’s sister Mary Harris longs for Captain Bostock’s telescope. The boys imagine a wolf will come to nourish her, but their plan backfires. In “The Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris,” the wily pair put their classical education to the test when they adopt the Spartan custom of exposing infants to the wild, leaving Harris’s infant sister, Adelaide, to the elements.

Part of what shocked Franzese was the fact that theoretically he shouldn't have been mentioned at all since the Bamboo Lounge was a hang out of the Lucchese family (which Henry, Jimmy and Tommy were apart of) and he was a member of the Colombo family. His wife was even more shocked, and they had to leave the theatre. Real life ex-Mafia capo Michael Franzese said he was watching Goodfellas with his wife shortly after he had gotten out of prison and was shocked to hear his name mentioned during the scene of Henry walking through the Bamboo Lounge talking about the various wiseguys in the place.
