Synopsis: | Charles Dickens' 1867 American Reading Tour is off to a rough start. Due to an inexplicable loss of his luggage, he regretfully announces that he will be unable to read from his beloved classic, A Christmas Carol. All is not lost however; Dickens delivers what he promised by performing from memory the magical story of Ebenezer Scrooge's journey from miserliness to redemption with warmth and humor. This one-man play is based on the condensed version Dickens himself used on his historic reading tours of the United States. | |||||

Synopsis: | Production Consolidated and Manhattan Theatre Source present Wicked Tavern Tales, a program of three short plays by Greg Oliver Bodine adapted from short stories by Edgar Allen Poe. The following description is from the show's press release: "Wicked Tavern Tales, adapted from three of Edgar Allan Poe's best short horror stories: 'The Cask of Amontillado', 'The Tell-tale Heart', and 'The Black Cat', combines classic storytelling and drama in the genre of the macabre. Welcome to the Hell's Hound (circa 1850s)-a tavern in an unnamed city where the beer flows freely and the tales are tall! Or are they? On a brisk October night, just as last call is announced, the tavern proprietor and a barmaid are entreated by the audience to entertain them with 'a good story' before closing time. The narrators oblige and begin to spin-not one-but three yarns of mystery and murder. Soon, the characters from each story appear, breathing life into the words of their storytellers, supplying the action, and bringing to each vignette its own harrowing denouement." | |||||
