{"product_id":"9780983435563","title":"Edward Gorey on Stage: Playwright, Director, Designer, Performer: a Multimedia Memoir","description":"Renowned as an artist, author, and godfather of Goth, Edward Gorey was first and last a dramatist. This ingenious multimedia memoir is a homage to his famous pop-up books, and a rare backstage tour of his lifelong involvement in theater. From Harvard, where Gorey and roommate Frank O'Hara helped found the Poets' Theatre, to New York, where he designed the Tony-award-winning costumes and sets for Frank Langella's \u003ci\u003eDracula,\u003c\/i\u003e to Cape Cod, where he steered his troupe of actors and puppets through twenty-odd original \"entertainments,\" Edward Gorey delighted in uncoiling weird little stories into four-dimensional mini-dramas. Some were his familiar alphabet books and tales such as \u003ci\u003eThe Insect God\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Curious Sofa\u003c\/i\u003e; others, such as \u003ci\u003eBlithering Christmas,\u003c\/i\u003e he composed specifically for venues from Provincetown to Cotuit to Woods Hole. This affectionate recap by his longtime friend and collaborator CJ Verburg is a great gift to any Edward Gorey fan: full of rare original drawings and notes, color photographs, script and review excerpts, and live links to film clips of Gorey himself performing onstage.","brand":"Boom-Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49836373573872,"sku":"9780983435563","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983435563","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
