Speakeasy Dollhouse Documentary Trailer for Kickstarter

We are excited to announce that the "Of Dolls & Murder" director, Susan Marks, has created a Kickstarter to fund her sequel documentary on Speakeasy Dollhouse and Cynthia von Buhler. To attend the filming and play visit this url: www.kickstarter.com/projects/183801348/speakeasy-dollhouse

****

SPEAKEASY DOLLHOUSE is a biographical tale of murder, bootlegging, mafia, and intrigue, set in New York City and explored through a graphic novel and live performances in Manhattan.

This is the true story of Cynthia von Buhler's (née Carrozza) grandparents, who bootlegged liquor and owned two speakeasies in Prohibition-era New York City. It centers mainly around her grandfather who was shot and killed in 1935, but nobody in her family ever found out why. Von Buhler is uncovering the facts and telling the story in two ways: First, a graphic novel with photographs of miniature dolls and sets that she created to visualize and convey the story, and second, in an immersive play through which the events unfold in real life. You can help solve this mystery by pre-ordering the book or by purchasing tickets to the play through Kickstarter.


The book will not be available again until it is released by a publisher as part of a five book series.


We are also going to screen a documentary narrated by legendary filmmaker John Waters, "Of Dolls & Murder" after the play on October 24th. This film has not yet been released and attendees of the Speakeasy Dollhouse play will see it first at no extra charge.
