Edward Gorey On Stage: Playwright, Director, Designer, Performer: a Multimedia Memoir

4.7/5 ( ratings)

Renowned as an artist, author, and godfather of Goth, Edward Gorey was first and last a dramatist. This ingenious multimedia memoir is a homage to his famous pop-up books, and a rare backstage tour of his lifelong involvement in theater. From Harvard, where Gorey and roommate Frank O’Hara helped found the Poets' Theatre, to New York, where his costumes for Dracula won a Tony award, to Cape Cod, where he steered his troupe of actors and puppets through twenty-odd original "entertainments," Edward Gorey delighted in uncoiling weird little stories into four-dimensional mini-dramas. This affectionate recap by his longtime friend and collaborator Carol Verburg is a gift to any Gorey fan: full of color photographs, drawings, script and review excerpts, and live links to film clips of the artist himself performing onstage.
