At The Mountains Of Slumberland - August, 2007

Now that I've figured out a fairly fast system of cleaning up these shots in Photoshop, I thought it was time to get these online, almost a year later.

These are pictures from last August's production of Necropolis 3: At The Mountains Of Slumberland, which ran on the same bill with Kiss Me, Succubus (see yesterday). Pretty extreme palette shift here . . .

This was a pastiche of and about H.P. Lovecraft and Winsor McCay, in which McCay's Little Nemo comic strip character falls asleep (as usual) but this time winds up not in Slumberland, but in the Lovecraftian Universe, and must rely on the help of Lovecraft's dream traveler Randolph Carter to get him home.

As with all the NECROPOLIS shows, the entire soundtrack - dialogue, music, SFX - was prerecorded and played back as the actors mimed to it, in this case with a stylized "posing" resembling the panels of comic strips.

The photos feature Amy Liszka as Little Nemo, Peter Bean as Randolph Carter, Art Wallace as Cmdr. Alfie Bester of The Flying Squad, Aaron Baker as Pickman, Bryan Enk as Capt. Nemo, Gyda Arber as The Sphinx and Others, Sammy Tunis as The Girl and Others, and Linda Blackstock as The Old Woman and Others.

24 photos here, so I'll put them behind a cut . . .

Is it time to call a certain someone for their birthday yet . . ? Ah, maybe I'll wait a couple of hours to be sure they're not sleeping in . . .
