The Visceral Company presents the return of LOVECRAFT: NIGHTMARE SUITE

The Visceral Company is proud to bring its highly acclaimed production of LOVECRAFT: NIGHTMARE SUITE back to the Los Angeles stage. LOVECRAFT: NIGHTMARE SUITE features six strange stories of monsters, mayhem, and cosmic horrors brought to life through a combination of storytelling, puppetry, and shadow play. All text is taken directly from the short fiction, essays, and poetry of the godfather of modern horror, H.P. Lovecraft.

Conceived and directed by Dan Spurgeon (Visceral's Artistic Director and 2013 LA Weekly Theater Award winner), LOVECRAFT: NIGHTMARE SUITE previously had a successful 2003 off-off-Broadway run in New York. At that time, it was among the first - if not the first - fully realized and produced theatrical adaptations of Lovecraft's work utilizing all elements of stagecraft.

LOVECRAFT: NIGHTMARE SUITE will play Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 pm and Sunday matinees at 3 pm, from January 31 through March 2, 2013, at the Lex Theatre, 6760 Lexington Ave., Hollywood, CA.

Tickets are $23 for all performances and are available at www.thevisceralcompany.com.  Parental guidance is recommended for young children.

LOVECRAFT: NIGHTMARE SUITE features performances of six classic Lovecraft stories:
- The Statement of Randolph Carter.  An archaeologist unearths an unspeakable horror while exploring a crypt.
- The Cats of Ulthar.  In an ancient land, a young boy's prayers are answered after his beloved kitten goes missing.
- The Outsider.  A lonely individual decides to break free of a dark forest in search of human contact.
- The Picture in the House.  A young man seeking shelter from a storm discovers a book with disturbing engravings.
- Cool Air.  A rooming house boarder meets a reclusive doctor obsessed with cheating death.
- Nyarlathotep.  One of the Outer Gods manifests and unleashes horrific visions on humanity.
Excerpts of the author's poetry and prose are used to introduce and bridge the stories.

The ensemble cast features Frank Blocker, Devereau Chumrau, Andrew Fromer, Daniel Jimenez, Steve Peterson, Anna Safar, Angela Sauer, and Mark Souza.  Lighting design is by Dave Sousa (2012 LA Weekly Theater Award nominee), set and puppet design by John Burton, sound design and original music by Garth Herberg, and costume design by Pam Noles.

The Visceral Company, called "LA's premiere horror theatre troupe" by Fangoria magazine and winner of "Best 2013 LA Theater Season" accolades by review aggregate site Bitter Lemons, is dedicated to presenting killer shows from darker places. We hope to encourage further onstage exploration of the horror, thriller and science fiction genres, which have been underrepresented in theatre, and to build an appreciation of theatre in the younger audiences that are traditionally drawn to them.
