Floating Worlds: The Letters of Edward Gorey and Peter F. Neumeyer
In 1977 Frank Langella starred on Broadway in a production commonly referred to as “Edward Gorey’s Dracula”. It used the same script performed by Bela Lugosi in the 1920s but with designs by the gothic illustrator. The sets looked like one of Gorey’s drawings - sketched in black and white. The costumes were in black and white with the exception of the lining of Dracula’s cape. The show was not played for laughs and Langella conjured up a very sexy vampire. I saw a performance and it was terrific. Afterwards I happened to be in the right place to get Langella’s autograph. Langella later starred in a Universal remake of the original movie. He was fine but without the stylized designs, it was rather mundane.
Performer: Frank Langella
Edward Gorey, February 22, 1925 – April 15, 2000.
Two new spooky shows with all my faves all at once?
Y: When you misjudge the relative momentum, inertia, jersey-springy-ness, and it just goes badly all around :O
Z: When you can’t get through the pack, but you… also can’t get the star passed :(
The final letters in my roller derby cartoon tribute to Edward Gorey’s “Gashlycrumb Tinies!”
U: When you’re trying to improve your speed and quick-stopping skills, but you end up building character and humility instead. :O~
V: “Prop the bench up on a box, they said… what’s the worst that could happen?”
