Masque of the Red Death... at St. Luke's Theatre
Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group present Masque of the Red Death/The Tell-tale Heart/The Bells, three adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe' tales, at St. Luke's Theatre from 27 Aug - 4 Oct 2008
The Masque of The Red Death: The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague known as the Red Death by hiding, along with his 1,000 guests, within the excesses of his luxurious abbey.
The Tell-Tale Heart: The story of one man's obsession, hatred and dominion over an old man's haunting blue eye and the beating of his hideous heart!
The Bells: Poe's epic four-part poem about the relentless clanging and clamoring of the bells that haunt and preside over us all, set to a score by Christopher Reiner.
Zombie Joe said "This is our homage to the late, great master of horror, Edgar Allan Poe. We are delighted to bring three of Poe's most dynamic tales to New York audiences. Each of his frightening tales of terror are told, word for word, in our stylized 'performance fusion' with the group's signature staging, choreography and original music."
