THURSDAY October 10th at 7pm: CLAY-SHUTTERED DOORS

"When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes"
CLAY-SHUTTERED DOORS

“Love may be eternal, but Lovers are mortal…
Aren’t they??”

Some restless spirits do not depart in peace because they cannot—or will not! Perhaps it is unfinished business that detains them, a bargain made, a promise unfulfilled. Perhaps a desperate yearning, their own or another’s, that knots that otherwise-severed golden thread.

Tonight we continue our journey through the ancient lychgate and across the kirkyard.

THURSDAY October 3rd at 7pm: THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN

"The Monster Demands A Mate!"
THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN

After recovering from injuries sustained in the mob attack upon himself and his creation, Dr. Frankenstein falls under the control of his former mentor, Dr. Pretorius, who insists the now-chastened doctor resume his experiments in creating new life. Meanwhile, the Monster remains on the run from those who wish to destroy him without understanding that his intentions are generally good despite his lack of socialization and self-control.

Tonight’s story, written by Guy Preston, was derived from the 1935 screenplay of the same name, and was published and released at the same time as the movie. That movie “monsterpiece” was created by James Whale, and is widely considered the best film of the “golden age” of horror cinema. Cue the lightning . . . 

Book: Various
Authors: Mary Shelley & Guy Preston Screenplay: James Whale

THURSDAY March 21st at 7pm: THE LADY OF FINNEGAN'S HEARTH pt2

"A joyous, bouncing Irish hellion"
THE LADY OF FINNEGAN'S HEARTH

Though time and legend have told the tale of Isolde, neither these nor any Jute-twanging minstrel ever did her justice . She was a joyous, bouncing Irish hellion who died at nineteen, a bundle of brogue and bad manners, all heart and no head; a thoroughly medieval urchin whose first utterance in Glory was that she had been abducted from the world against her will and demanded immediate return. Her claim was not considered.
