Puppets & Poe

From the event description:

Start with Edgar Allan Poe, the beloved master of poetry, short stories and tales of mystery and the macabre. Dissect and remix. With a departure from Japanese Noh drama and Kyogen satire, mix with Theatre of Yugen's signature physicality, voices, words, ideas, bodies and puppets. Stir in a splash of contemporary relevance, with good old-fashioned irreverence. Bake at a macabre 666-degree heat for an hour and a half. Devised Defiance is a dish best served cold.

When: Thursday, Oct. 31, 8 p.m.
Where: Theatre of Yugen, 2840 Mariposa St.
Price: $17.50
