Bram Stoker’s Bedtime Stories Known mainly as the author of the classic Dracula, Bram Stoker has not received the attention he deserves for his other masterly tales of horror. WordStage will endeavor to correct this oversight by presenting two of his spine-tingling short stories from the collection he titled The Bram Stoker Bedtime Companion. Featured are two examples of Stoker’s most macabre musings. First, we tell the terrifying tale of The Secret of the Growing Gold, which chronicles the scandals and animosities of two feuding families – the Delandres and the Brents - and the misfortunes visited on both their houses. The second is the recounting of an innocent student who, against all good sense and heedless of the residents’ warnings, rents The Judges House, and falls prey to the evil within it. The readings will be accompanied by malevolent music from classical composers such as Saint-Saens, Schubert, Grieg and Mendelssohn, performed on violin and piano. The readings will be performed by WordStage Company members Agnes Herrmann, Stuart Hoffman, Paul Slimak, Leslie Stager, Tim Tavcar and Brian Westerly. Their words will be enhanced by Mary Beth Ions on the Violin and Patrick Wickliffe on the piano. Our performance will take place on Saturday, October 28th at 7:00 p.m. in the Wright Chapel at the Lakewood Presbyterian Church –14502 Detroit Ave, in Lakewood, Ohio. Tickets are $20 for Adults, $15 for Seniors and $10 for Students. Cash and Checks will be accepted at the door.
