THE MASK OF THE RED DEATH
ADAPTOR & DIRECTOR
The Mask of the Red Death is an immersive theatre production adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's iconic story.
Featuring dance, magic, news broadcasts and a steady flow of champagne - The Mask of the Red Death transports you into the fantastical world of Poe. A world where we are all sinners and all saints. A world where everything is pretend and nothing is made up. A world where truth is finite and subjective. A world where no one can be trusted, not even ourselves. A world where anything goes.
​​
The Mask of the Red Death was developed for the University of Tampa's School of Theatre and Dance.
