SUMMARY

Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death, this production takes place during one of Prospero’s luxurious parties at a castle in which the guests are locked in to isolate themselves from the plague outside. However, an unexpected and uninvited guest appears at the party, and Prospero pursues this guest… with mortal consequences.
