The Dunwich Horror by H. P. Lovecraft

16 - 19th October 2013 in the Drama Studio
"The most merciful thing in the world is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. But some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
The Company presents a new adaptation of H.P. Lovercraft's classic tale. In the isolated, desolate and decrepit village of Dunwich, Wilbur Whateley, a most unusual child, is born. Of unnatural parentage, he grows at an uncanny pace to an unsettling height, but the boy's arrival simply precedes that of a true horror, a cosmic terror from beyond the stars.
