THE GRAND GUIGNOL THEATER FOR CHILDREN*
By Drama of Works and Edgar Allan Poe (with inspiration from Heinrich Hoffman, Edward Gorey, Maurice Sendak, and the Dead Milkmen)
In honor of their 25th anniversary, Drama of Works presents an educational evening of theater for children (*NOT really for children). In between beautiful, innovative, large-scale shadow puppet renditions of literature by Edgar Allan Poe they use a toy theater cemetery stage to warn children of the danger of misbehaving. The tales of The Raven, Tell-Tale Heart, Annabel Lee, and The Black Cat come to life spectacularly with DOW's signature inventive shadow puppetry! All the while toy theater children and inspired by Heinrich Hoffman, Edward Gorey, Maurice Sendak, & the Dead Milkmen get sliced, blown away, drowned, set on fire...
Is everyone ready for a bloody good time?!?
