The camp macabre world of Edward Gorey darkens the doorstep of the Newport Theater in a surreal and eccentric theatrical production, Oct. 24 and Nov. 7&14.
The Uncanny Attic is an absurdist dark comedy told through puppetry, clowning, dance, live music and an unhealthy dose of death co-created and co-produced by Bazuka Joe and The Bunny Royale (Jennifer Friedrich). It’s a world where catastrophic events happen with utter regularity and its inhabitants, particularly children, are an endangered species.
The cast includes veteran performers in several disciplines including co-creators Jennifer Friedrich (Incurable Theater, Redmoon Theater) and Bazuka Joe (Poonie’s Cabaret, Newport Theater Camp), along with Meaghan Morris and Tyler Garamella (Hot Clown Company); Connor Konz (LegLand); Eva la Feva (Performer and Artistic Curator Newport Theater); Sunny Haelstorm (Performer/Teaching artist) Jill Summers providing both narration and live music (Ordinary Houses); Ensemble Members Mr. B, Derry-Éire, Lady Ve’Lush and Marla Wyrdand, lights and sound by Drew Cohen and featuring a stop motion animation by Susie Kirkwood with original music by Liam Davis and Make-up Design by Harley Go'Lightly. Poster Illustrations by Ken Gerleve.
This production is recommended for viewers 18 and older.
