What a treat to spend an evening talking about books, theater, and art with the people who love them!
Did you ever wonder how the author-illustrator of sparse, sinister tales like The Doubtful Guest and The Gashlycrumb Tinies designed a Tony Award-winning production of Dracula? and conspired on a 21st-century album with The Tiger Lillies and the Kronos Quartet?
If you missed "From Page to Stage and Back" on June 2 at the Book Club of California, don't worry -- you can catch the video on YouTube for a few more weeks.
And be sure to stop by San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum to see their jewel-box exhibition of original Gorey art and artifacts, running until August 10.
You can also pick up a copy of The Theatrical Adventures of Edward Gorey, stroke its red-velvet-trimmed cover, and have it signed in person at the Mechanics Institute Library on July 31. We'll celebrate Gorey's centennial year with a special presentation for theater fans of some truly remarkable scripts, art, and the stories behind them -- plus unique raffle prizes!
