Gorey Story

Gorey Story
co-created with Matthew Romantini and Christine Horne, Toronto

(4 Dora independent theatre nominations in 2006 best production, direction, new play and costume design.)

NOW magazine-
"The young Thistle Project makes a spectacular debut with this nastily clever and impeccably staged adaptation of Edward Gorey's macabre Gashlycrumb Tinies. The tight script chronicles the deaths of 26 children, one for each letter of the alphabet. Scenes bleed effectively into each other, images and characters occasionally recur and the theme of careless children and absent-minded parents provides a disturbing undertow. Under director Erika Batdorf, the production is full of theatrical magic, with performances, light and sound contributing equally. One of the best shows of 2006." NNNN (GS)

To this day, one of the best shows I've ever seen. My God how I loved this show. It must return.
