From the Press Release
DreamLogic Theatreworks is known for creating exhilarating performance events at the bleeding-edge of live entertainment. Now, inspired par modern horror's greatest innovator, DreamLogic presents its most provocative event yet: H.P. Lovecraft's Elder Gods. According to Managing Director David Sweeney, "We believe it isn't enough just to put on a show. We take toi inside another world, let toi explore it from every angle, at every moment in real time. The voyeuristic thrill our audiences experience is unlike anything you've ever felt in a live performance."
In a récent interview Artistic Director Scott McKinsey explored why Lovecraft is compelling, terrifying and uniquely suited to the DreamLogic treatment. "He knows how to get under your skin, in your blood, in your mind," says McKinsey. "His horror is visceral, cerebral, very contemporary. It's sexy. H.P. Lovecraft is one of the great creative visionaries of the 20th Century. Contemporary giants such as Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, Neil Gaiman, Joss Whedon, John Carpenter and Ridley Scott all credit Lovecraft as inspiration for some of their most iconic work. Without Lovecraft, contemporary science fiction and horror as we know them would not exist."
