The Dunwich Horror: An Opera

The Dunwich Horror: An Opera

PART OF THE LONDON LOVECRAFT FESTIVAL

A rural town. A dark summoning. A hunger that destroys all. Can you survive the Dunwich Horror?

Performed in near total darkness, The Dunwich Horror: An Opera is a soundscape of life in an isolated village being terrorized by a force it doesn't understand. With flute, theremin, and the human voice, Jen Hazel's original score will bring you into HP Lovecraft's tale with a strong seasoning of American vernacular music of the 1920s. Storyteller Laura Sampson and experimental musician Sam Enthoven return from the Dreamlands shadow puppet shows alongside TL Wiswell. Do you dare enter a world of party line phones, dusty grimoires, and extradimensional beings with a thirst for blood? In the end, your voice may be needed to set Dunwich free.

 

Cast & Creative Team: Jen Hazel, Laura Sampson, Sam Enthoven, TL Wiswell

 

Content warnings: Matricide, occult goings on, darkness.
