Inspired by the adventure-filled dime novels of the 19th and early 20th century, Penny Dreadful is an innovative epic for the stage co-created for Williamsburg’s Brick Theater by off-off Broadway performers Bryan Enk and Matt Gray. Like the original novels, Penny Dreadful has been serialized into 12 monthly installments with chapter one beginning in November 2007. Audiences will be able to follow the labyrinthine plot twists and re-experience the cliffhanger endings through video downloads of each episode following their live performance, made available through the official site of Third Lows Productions (www.thirdlows.com/pennydreadful).

The year is 1909 and the discovery of a bloodless body has San Francisco abuzz. It will be up to a second-rate showman and an oddball detective of the supernatural to put together the clues – a mysterious hearing aid, a missing creature from the darkest corner of the earth, a secret society bent on world domination, a man who can control earthquakes, and the greatest magic trick ever performed. Penny Dreadful is a twelve-part tale of mystery and horror that takes place in the first decade of the twentieth century and guest stars a parade of notable historical figures such as Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Edison as they weave in and out of the suspenseful tale.
