Dark Ladies - Ghostly Tales by Gothic Ladies at Players Theatre

Dark Ladies – Ghostly Tales by Gothic Ladies 

Three short stories by female Victorian writers.

Ghost stories are not about the dead – but the fears of the living.  Our mistresses of the macabre, female writers from the 19th and early 20th century, knew how to spin a spine-tingling tale.  Stories that manifest our deepest fears into flesh, bone and spirits – revealing the darker side we all crave – beyond the grave.  These ladies will not be hushed! 

The evening will feature three short plays and three Theatre Macabre vignettes inspired by works from dark ladies of a certain era including: Edith Wharton, Emily Brontë and Mary Howitt.  The performance will be underscored with original music and played live by Michael Sgouros.
