A witty Theatrical Collage adorned with live music and physical comedy
inspired by the illustrations of Edward Gorey, Victorian reverie, ill-fated romance,
calamitous croquet, and the dangers of windy cliffs.
These dark comedic vignettes also feature a seance, precocious children, and will transport you into a world where unseen dangers cause laughter.
Featuring
Gwen Grastorf, Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell, Sarah Olmsted Thomas
and guest artists Stephanie Baird and James Owens.
“Wickedly funny...a Gorey illustration brought to life. It's a feather that will tickle your fancy.”
- Washington Post
“Gleams with the precision that has become Happenstance’s hallmark...
a ghoulishly gratifying showcase of Edward Gorey-inspired grim reapings.”
“…a wonderfully imagined, expertly choreographed meditation on a theme…”
“The paradox of this company is how the severity of their physical technique opens up boundless opportunities for humor.”
