Yellow Kings and Darker Things

a double-dosage of terror

"The King in Yellow cordially invites you to an evening of blackmail, madness, and murder..."

Audience Praise for Yellow Kings and Darker Things

"...outstanding, truly. The script...was clever without feeling contrived, being both thoughtful and engaging. Plus, I never thought I'd see someone use the Schroedinger's Cat thought experiment in such a seamless and appropriate way (as well as 'bifurcation'). Bravo......"

"A fine show! In the past, Tim looked to true stories to give weight to a production. Now he gives the same 'weight' to Sci-Fi/Fantasy material - as an actor. Makes for a riveting show..."

"Great show. Especially if you are a literature/language buff. Or a physics geek. Or if you like your Halloween to be creepy AND intellectual."

About the Show

Celebrate this Halloween season in a double-bill of spine-tingling tales from two of the Twin Cities' masters of the macabre!

Death and the deathless. Dragon shadows. Wolf dreams and time machines. Your biological clock is ticking, and founding Rockstar Storyteller phillip low has plenty to say about it in this cabaret of macabre sketches and stories. Quantum Suicide and Other Songs of Death: fondly dedicated to everyone who is dying. Especially you. (WARNING: This show contains profanity.)

It is said that the play The King in Yellow is a strange story of such decayed debauchery, that those who read its virulent pages will fall to insanity. Hildred Castaigne claims that it has merely made him...ambitious. Welcome to a futuristic version of 1920 that never came to pass, a cold desolate world imagined by Robert W. Chambers in 1895. Unhappy with this world? Never fear, a Lethal Chamber has just been opened at Washington Square for your suicidal convenience. Tim Uren brings you an alternate future that's already past in a new adaptation of The Repairer of Reputations.
