NIGHT GAUNTS: AN ENTERTAINMENT
BASED ON THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF
H.P.LOVECRAFT.
Here is the expanded second edition of Brett
Rutherford's biographical play, Night Gaunts: An Entertainment
Based on the Life and Writings of H.P. Lovecraft. The drama
portrays Lovecraft alone during his final days, with flashbacks to his
childhood, the insanity of his parents, his "Horror Honeymooners"
marriage in Brooklyn, and his triumphant solo return to Providence
where he established his reputation as the greatest horror writer since
Poe. The book also includes a number of "ceremonial" poems written to
be read at H.P. Lovecraft's grave in Swan Point Cemetery, Providence.
The play has been performed twice at The Providence Athenaeum; was
adapted by Hal Hamilton as a radio play by New England Institute
of Art in Brookline, Mass.; and was performed in 2006 at The University
of Heidelberg by the theater company Expresis Verbis.
