Red Noses
Red Noses is a comedy about the black death by Peter Barnes, first staged at Barbican Theatre in 1985.[1] It depicted a sprightly priest, originally played by Antony Sher, who travelled around the plague-affected villages of 14th century France with a band of fools, known as Floties, offering holy assistance.[2] It was for this play that Barnes won his Olivier award.[3]

gollark: Possibly? You apply somewhere.
gollark: Basically, send one query to get a session token of some sort, and then repeatedly send queries involving that to get the remaining data. But DNS doesn't guarantee message ordering, obviously, so you need to have sequence numbers and reassemble somewhere and ask for retransmits and all that.
gollark: It would be *especially* annoying to get good performance, but I guess you could just not.
gollark: I know roughly how. It would just be annoying to implement.
gollark: No, this is actually hard.
