The Uncanny Attic at Newport Theater

The camp macabre world of Edward Gorey RETURNS in this absurdist dark comedy sequel told through puppetry, clowning, dance, and live music. After last year’s run of sold-out shows, The Uncanny Attic returns with a continuation of death, disaster, and unmitigated literary nonsense.  Edward Gorey’s world comes to life, then almost immediately to death, in this second installment where we meet ravenous little boys, ill-fated synchronized swimmers, hapless pranksters, and pedicidal thugs.  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 The Bunny Royale (Jennifer Friedrich) and Bazuka Joe. In The Uncanny Attic catastrophic events happen with utter regularity and its inhabitants, particularly children, are an endangered species.  The Uncanny Attic cast includes Jill Summers, Susie Kirkwood, Evan Richter, Sam Hammer, Dahlia Fatale, Harley Go’Lightly, Jordan Kost, Harlie Hellfire, Derry Eire, Marla Wyrd, Monsieur Bombastic, and Lady Ve’Lush.
