THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE GOTHIC HOUR
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the world premiere of The Gothic Hour - a NEW horror play set in 1999 in the recording studio of the fictional radio show of the same name.
Hosts Francis Mallory Cade and her husband Vincent Cade interview people on death row, sometimes mere hours before their scheduled executions, to give them a platform to speak their truth. During one of those interviews, a figure from Francis’ past comes back to haunt her and threatens to upend her entire existence.
The fictionalized radio show touches on criminal justice themes: bias, stigma, and the brokenness to the concept of "good" and "evil" within a flawed system.
