Just in time for Halloween Unbound Productions Co-Artistic Directors Jonathan Josephson, Paul Millet and Jeff G. Rack are bringing six Wicked Lit adaptations of horror literature in full theatrical productions at Mountain View Mausoleum and Cemetery in Altadena. Horror stories by Charles Dickens, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, M.R. James and Mark Twain will be fully staged during the Halloween season.
Production A (October 21-November 5, 2011) will consist of a remount of three plays that the theatre company produced as part of last year’s engagement: Charles Dickens’ The Chimes, H.P. Lovecraft’s The Unnamable and Edgar Allan Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado. Production B (October 27-November 6, 2011) will include three LIT plays that have never been staged at Mountain View: Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Body Snatcher, M.R. James’ Casting the Runes, and Mark Twain’s A Ghost Story. Josephson, Rack, and Millet have written and will direct all six adaptations.
“This fall is going to be unbelievable,” says Rack.
Adds Millet, “Many couples and families that have attended our shows over the years have told us that Wicked Lit has become their new annual Halloween tradition.”
Josephson says, “From the feedback that we have received from surveys and talking directly to past attendees, patrons who saw last year’s show are almost as excited to see that same show again as they are to see the new production.”
This is a walking show – patrons must be able to comfortably walk a minimum of 1,000 paces and climb stairs in order to experience these productions. Wear comfortable shoes.
Wicked Lit Production A performs 8 p.m. October 21 through November 5 (dark October 24-26 and November 1). Production B performs 8 p.m. October 27 through November 6 (dark November 1). Tickets range form $36-$60. Call 818-242-7910 or visit wickedlit.org.
