C.J. (cjverburg) | 17 comments Since it's apparently not possible to delete this nonexistent Kindle product from Goodreads, PLEASE REPLACE its existing description with the following CORRECT description:


NOTE: This Kindle supplement to the 2011 art-show catalog Edward Gorey Plays Cape Cod no longer exists. For a full, updated, lavishly illustrated account of Gorey's creations for the stage, see Carol Verburg's The Theatrical Adventures of Edward Gorey: Rare Drawings, Scripts, and Stories (Chronicle Books, 2024).

How to classify the extraordinary artist and author Edward Gorey? Although he is best known for his sparsely worded, richly drawn mini-tales of hapless characters who meet untimely ends, it was in theatre that Gorey's creative career started and ended. After winning a Tony Award for Frank Langella's "Dracula," he left Broadway for Cape Cod. From Woods Hole to Provincetown, Edward Gorey wrote, designed, and directed a scintillating series of "entertainments" starring local actors and his own troupe of handmade puppets--abetted by his friend, neighbor, and producer Carol Verburg.
