Theatre of Arts @ 1625 North Las Palmas
The Unnamable
By Jeff G. Rack
Adapted from the short story of the same name by H. P. Lovecraft
Two teachers – one a man of science and one a follower of the occult – enter a graveyard on an ominous evening. If all goes according to plan, only one will return home.
The Chimes
By Jonathan Josephson
Adapted from the short story of the same name by Charles Dickens
In the spirit of A Christmas Carol (but with the bite of a ghost story), The Chimes is a haunting tale of renewal, goblins, and the ties the bind.
Both readings are directed by Paul Millet.
Please join us after the reading for a post-show discussion with the playwrights and director.
The scope of Wicked Lit is to create and produce new adaptations of classic gothic literature. Since 2008, Wicked Lit has presented over 40 readings at theatres, libraries, schools, festivals and other locations all over Southern California and has proudly worked with communities throughout Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties. In addition to the annual reading series, Wicked Lit launched its inaugural festival production in 2009 at the haunted Greystone Mansion and is currently planning the 2010 production set to open in the Los Angeles area in October.
