Edward Gorey's Stealth Career in Theatre: A Quick Backstage Tour

5/5 ( ratings)

How to classify the extraordinary Edward Gorey? Artist? Writer? Dark humorist? Godfather of Goth? What about Dramatist? It was in theatre that Gorey's artistic career started and ended. After his Tony Award for Frank Langella's "Dracula," he left Broadway for Cape Cod. From Woods Hole to Provincetown, Gorey wrote, designed, and directed a scintillating set of "entertainments" starring local actors and his own troupe of handmade puppets. In this short e-book, his friend and producer Carol Verburg gives Gorey enthusiasts a whirlwind backstage tour, from the post-World War II Poets' Theatre at Harvard to "Gorey Stories" in New York to his posthumous puppet opera "The White Canoe" with its unforgettable Lump of Primeval Ooze and Alligator Ballet.
