*ahem* I don't suppose anyone actually captured the darned thing with a camera, did they? *sigh* I don't know when, if ever, we'll see a production put on here.....

I said it before...it's going to have to be a Chrons production!

Shotgun Cthulhu! Or, you know, maybe one of his tentacles or a wing or something

"Shoggoth" has not been done here in the States, from what I understand (I only ran into references to it about a year and a half ago, and was a bit too stunned by the insanity of the concept to track much down for a while.... )

However, there have been productions of Lovecraft on stage (as well as plays about the man and/or his work):

The Horror in the Theater: an H.P. Lovecraft Triptych of Terror, November 7, 2003

Also, Lovecraft's Follies, by former Brown University professor James Schevill, as well as Night Gaunts, by Brett Rutherford. There are others, I believe, but I can't recall them right off....

There are also some... interesting... musical connections out there:

BROWNE JENKYN Celtic Folk Music

It was taped, and it was supposed to be put on DVD by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society (Sean and Andrew were guests of honour), according to rumour at the con at the time. But that obviously hasn't happened yet.

Anyway, it was brilliant. Especially when Cthulhu showed up.

Ah. Thanks for that. I'll have to keep an eye out for it!

IF it ever materialises (and that is a big IF) I guess it'd be by the HPLHS.
