time for a performance in <strong>Brussels (Brabantish).</strong></font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">The audience was 5x as large as what came to the performance
in <strong>Brussels French</strong> some days ago.</font></div>

holiday)</font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">Brussels as language makes the play more naturally funny than
what the artificial Brusels French can do.</font></div>

thing.</font></div>

theatre.</font></div>

will offer clothes of <strong>Pierke Pierlala</strong> to the Brussels
