| '''Mahogany Hall''' is [[London]]'s most popular and prestigious theatre. It really does put on a different kind of show each day, as advertised: light entertainment on Monday, circus performers on Tuesday, comedy and variety on Wednesday, opera and ballet on Thursday, singers on Friday, magicians on Saturday, and the Kashmiri Princess - Mahogany Hall's star - on Sunday. And the performers are engaged in all sorts of intrigue. They say the magicians are in a civil war... | | [[File:Hall.jpg|thumb|250px|(art from Fallen London)]]'''Mahogany Hall''' is London's most popular and prestigious theater. It really does put on a different kind of show each day: light entertainment on Monday, circus performers on Tuesday, comedy and variety on Wednesday, opera and ballet on Thursday, singers on Friday, magicians on Saturday, and the Kashmiri Princess - Mahogany Hall's star - on Sunday. It is the center of several interesting conflicts: the Affair of the Box and the Wars of Illusion, for example. |

| == A Popular Song ==
| |
| There is a certain dreadfully catchy song in London, that spreads like wildfire. Numerous variations of it exist, and can be heard at [[Mahogany Hall]] and a few other places. Most of them are nonsense verses, but some connect to the Wars of Illusion or simply comment on something that happened during the latest show.
| |
| | |
| Unfortunately, the song has a tendency to stick in one's mind. More unfortunately, it has a tendency to explode [[Bestiary#Weasels|certain animals]] and leave behind an awful mess.<ref>[https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Ask_her_to_sing_Pop_Goes_The_Weasel Ask her to sing Pop Goes The Weasel, ''Fallen London'']</ref>
