Grim Tales, Horrific Vegnettes

 

From goulies and ghosties and long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night
Good Lord, deliver us!

                   - old Scottish prayer  

 

Fringe mainstay, Pete Papavlasopoulos, and company put on five mini horror plays. In a home for patients with advances dementia, one gets up when no one is around and smothers another. A bottle contains a mystical  fluid that, when drunk, might give you eternal life, might kill you or might kill someone else.Then there's Death And The Maiden.  

 

There was a play on Broadway in 1965 called And Things That Go Bump In The Night. Although it only lasted for 16 performances, I saw it when I was in high school. Different experience from the Fringe.
