The Eldritch Plays - Paperback

by Eric Woolfe (Author)

Gothic, witty, and theatrical, the plays in this collection will introduce readers to an irresistible new-and highly original-dramatic voice. Visit Eric Woolfe's world ... if you dare! The three works included in The Eldritch Plays are populated by some of the wildest creatures ever seen on a Canadian stage.

Sideshow of the Damned brings us a panopoly of Woolfe characters: mad scientists, werewolves, would-be necromancers, and ghouls juxtaposed against the quotidian to great comic effect.

In The Strange and Eerie Memoirs of Billy Wuthergloom, a small boy leads a fairly ordinary life until puberty, a succubus, and a strange friend named Herskill Fischmascher take him places he never wanted to go.

And in the critically-acclaimed Grendelmaus, two co-workers have to deal with an evil mouse made immortal by eating the dead flesh of Grendel ... as well as a finicky work supervisor, an eccentric mother, an ancient book of spells, and, naturally, love. Woolfe's unique style uses live actors combined with puppets, simple stylized special effects, humour, and horror.
