Details
In the summer of 1816, at the Villa Diodati, Lord Byron, his personal physician John Polidori, his friend Percy Shelley, Shelley's fiancée Mary Godwin, their infant son William, and Godwin's stepsister Claire Clairmont, gather together on holiday. After a drunken night of exchanging ghost stories, Lord Byron challenges his contemporaries to write their own. And indeed, throughout a flurry of love and betrayal, sleepless nights and near death experiences, duels and an unending storm, every person in attendance walks away with their own ghost. Some, a great story, the likes of the Vampyre and Frankenstein. Others, the untimely deaths of their loved ones, or the specter of their own end.This show was written by Cash, the composer. The cast and crew will be announced in July.
An immersive theatrical experience unlike any other, this production will be one part historical reenactment, one part haunted house, and one part musical theatre. The show will feature many interactive elements inviting the audience to be one of Lord Byron's guests at the Villa Diodati- to drink, to dance, and to be a part of the story. With opportunities to jump into roles as members of the stories the famed poets and authors read and write, songs that invite you to jump to your feet and dance alongside these legends, and several other surprises, this will truly be an experience you won't forget.
A ONE NIGHT ONLY engagement this Halloween, be sure to get your tickets now! There are many additional things you can purchase alongside your ticket, such as an exclusive dinner with the composer before the show, so keep an eye out so you don't miss these limited offers. We hope to see you there!
This event is meant for audiences 21+, there will be an open wine bar, and the show features subject material not suitable for children.
