The Castle Spectre
By Matthew Gregory Lewis
March 13th - 16th, 2014
Thur-Sat @ 8 pm, Sat-Sun @ 2 pm
In a dark and dismal castle...
In a drear and distant land...
'Neath the pale of waxing moonlight...
Evil stretches out its hand...
A noble, hunted hero and a much-maligned heroine of mysterious origin must fight for their love and their very lives against the nefarious designs set against them by the dread lord of a decaying castle. Amidst menacing minions, a shrieking soubrette, a cowardly ecclesiastic and a wisecracking knave, will our heroes see virtue triumph over evil? If they don't, they will be doomed to be forever entombed in the depths of darkness that lay under the shadow of...the Castle Spectre.
Adapted from the 1797 original by Matthew Lewis and heightened by original accompanimental music, The Castle Spectre is the quintessential example of Gothic Melodrama, with all the attendant sinister scheming, wailing emotions, base buffoonery and spooky, eerie fun.
