Claw and Order is a mini-opera following a courtroom trial of a lobster accused of ridiculous crimes. The Soprano plays both the Prosecutor (wears glasses) and Defence (doesn't wear glasses). Yes, this is a wacky lobster opera, so I thought it was only fair that the title must be an equally wacky pun haha.
