Synopsis "Dracula: A toy Theatre"

DRACULA POP UP ENGLISH EDITION

Bram Stoker's 1897 novel took place in the wild Carpathian Mountains, London and rural England, and various places in between. But the Dracula for which Edward Gorey created the set designs reproduced in miniature here--a version that ran to nearly a thousand Broadway performances--compresses the action to one locale: the sanatorium of Dr. Seward, near the town of Purley, somewhere in the English countryside. Based on Edward Gorey's set and costume designs for his award-winning Broadway production of Dracula, these die-cut, scored, and perforated foldups and foldouts include:

3 pop-up 16 x 12 inch stage sets; cast of 8 (15 figures in all); stage furniture; and a 4-page booklet with exceptionally simple assembly instructions, a synopsis of Gorey's Broadway adaptation of Dracula, and notes on Edward Gorey (1925-2000) and his many magical creations.

Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was an American author, illustrator, and artist known for his distinctive, dark, and macabre humor style. Throughout his career, Gorey wrote and illustrated over 100 books, many of which have left an indelible mark on literature and visual arts. His work spans a wide range of genres, from children's literature to horror and mystery, always with a unique approach that mixed the gothic and the absurd.

Among his most famous works are The Gashlycrumb Tinies (1963), The Doubtful Guest (1957), and The Unstrung Harp (1953). His illustration style is instantly recognizable by its fine and detailed lines, often in shades of white, black, and gray. Although he did not receive major awards, his influence on art and literature is widely recognized.
