Has anyone seen this yet? We went to the special Halloween Midnight performance last Saturday and it was so much fun! Jill Tracy was wonderful and it was amazing to see her play the antique organ dressed as a mad Countess. (That alone is worth the admission price!) I would recommend Welcome to the Hypnodrome to everyone before it closes on Nov 20.
Info and tickets at: www.hypnodrome.com/
There is a nice blurb in this week's Bay Guardian about the event:
*Welcome to the Hypnodrome: at the Hypnodrome, 575 10th St; 248-1900, www.hypnodrome.com. $18-50. Thurs-Sat, 8pm. Through Nov 20. Tucked away under a dark overpass in the nether regions of SoMa, the theater at 575 10th St. is the perfect setting for Welcome to the Hypnodrome, a gleefully unhinged evening of early 20th-century French kitsch. In The Beast, an adaptation of L'homme nu (1928), by Charles Méré, ketchup flies when an injured traveler finds himself caught between an austere Austrian count, his crazy wife, and their frightening secret. The burlesque Bearded Assets, adapted from Madame Aurelie (1909), by Yves Mirande, provides light relief with the discovery of a circus performer's amazing new talent on Victor Hugo's funeral day. Meanwhile, in the claustrophobic melodrama Murder of the Will, based on Maurice Renard's L'amant de la morte (1925), a lovesick hypnotist (intensely personified by Brian Raffi) attempts to exert his will on the wife of his best friend, with tragic results. Featuring the luminous Jill Tracy, and Bob Taxin in multi-dexterous form, Thrillpeddlers brings ghoulish aplomb to Grand Guignol. (Veltman)
