The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey will present its fourth annual Something Wicked This Way Comes on Monday, October 28 at 7:30 p.m. The event is only given on one night and it is a great way to kick off Halloween week.
Appropriately titled from a line in Shakespeare’s classic Macbeth, Something Wicked This Way Comes is described from press notes as:
a 90-minute delightfully bone-chilling evening, featuring esteemed actors from The Shakespeare Theatre company as well as guest artists. “We are thrilled to present the fourth annual Something Wicked This Way Comes. Audiences can expect . . . a brand new line-up of classic ghost stories and tales of horror,” said Artistic Director Bonnie J. Monte.
Directed by Brian B. Crowe, Something Wicked This Way Comes is a ghoulish collage of dramatic readings from the classic canon of the macabre including Shakespeare, Poe, Stoker, and Lovecraft. “The stories come alive in front of an audience. We combine talented storytelling and haunting music to create a wonderfully spooky atmosphere,” says Crowe.
Composer, musician, and one of the world’s foremost theremin players, John Hoge, will provide the music for this unique evening.
