The Vampire or the Bride of the Isles

Back by popular demand, The Merc Playhouse and Madcap Melodrama present The Vampire or the Bride of the Isles, an audio play. Thrill as you journey into a live soundscape, watching the battle between good and evil. Madcap Melodrama, a Seattle ensemble which includes The Merc Playhouse's Artistic Director, Ki Gottberg, and part-time valley resident Kate Wisniewski (most recently seen as Mariah in Twelfth Night) invites you to an encore presentation of their audio play, an adaptation of the tale by J.R. Planché of The Vampire, or the Bride of the Isles. This 1920 Melodrama gave London audiences the shivers as they watched the wicked and seductive progress of an undead Lord mesmerizing his way into the noble hearts of royalty. Now, as adapted by Ki Gottberg, Madcap Melodrama brings the tale to today's audiences, enhanced by a live soundscape.

The Vampire or the Bride of the Isles, will be held Friday and Saturday, September 5 & 6 at 7:00 p.m, and Sunday, September 7 at 2 pm at The Merc Playhouse in Twisp. Featuring the talents of Dominic Cody-Kramers, Ki Gottberg, Gin Hammond, Brennan Murphy, and Kate Wisniewski. Admission is $15 for Adults and $5 for Youth 18 & Under. Recommended for ages 12 and up. To experience the sound on a deeper level, headphones may be rented for an additional $10 (limited to the first 20). More info 997-PLAY (7529) or www.mercplayhouse.org.
