Phantasmagoria XVII: FRANKENSTEIN… The Birth of Horror

The 17th Year of the Long Running Central Florida Halloween Tradition!

LIVE ON STAGE AT OCALA CIVIC THEATRE
TWO PERFORMANCES: Sunday, October 11
2 p.m. & 6:30 p.m.

Journey with critically acclaimed Victorian Horror Troupe PHANTASMAGORIA as they light the candles at the Villa Diodati, to celebrate Mary Shelley’s legendary and iconic tale as well as “The Vampyre” by John Polidori, along with other stories that horrified the nights during that summer when the challenge “We Shall Each Write A Ghost Story” was presented to all in attendance.

The Birth of Horror: June 16, 1816

In the summer of 1816, Mary Godwin (soon to be Shelley), Percy Shelley, Claire Clairmont, John Polidori and Lord George Gordon Byron spent their evenings reading ghost stories from the book “Fantasmagoriana”,  when Byron issued the Ghost Story summons.  Phantasmagoria is honored (and terrified) to present two tales from that original book – “The Death’s Head” and “The Black Chamber”, along with Byron’s apocalyptic epic poem “Darkness” written later that summer, and of course Polidori’s “The Vampyre” which set the tone for elegant, stately Vampires, all culminating in Mary Shelley’s classic of horror literature “Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus.”

Something wicked this way comes…

With original music by Phantasmagoria composer Josh Solomon, choreography by Mila Makarova, stage combat by Bill Warriner, puppets by Nic Parks Puppetry, and all new adaptations and direction this is sure to be a darkly enchanting journey for all.

Called “visually addictive,” Phantasmagoria’s signature blend of evocative storytelling, phantastical dance, large-scale puppetry, projections, original music, and more will bring to life on stage the haunted and horrific tales that mark the most legendary moments in literature – ones that would change the face of horror forever.

See you there…if you dare!
