On the ball

Get your mask ready: it’s time to party quasi-anonym­ously with friends and strangers at a Vene­tian Mas­quer­ade Ball. Cham­pagne! Chan­deliers! Canapes! Cleav­age! (if the poster is any­thing to go by)

Ballo di Sciocco poster

Stately Drans­field House in upper Wil­lis Street will play the gra­cious host for “Ballo di Sciocco” on the 31st of March. The ven­ue and the imagery may me old-fash­ioned, but the ball itself must be Gen­er­a­tion Next, since it has a myspace page. Look­ing at the organ­isers’ page and list of friends, I get the feel­ing this will be no ordin­ary ball.

Tick­ets $120 from Mad­mat on 027 290 3591.
