A Staged Reading of a New Musical Adaptation of Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado

Freeport November – There’s a certain magic in being first — the first to hear the music to witness the tension crackle between characters to see a world take shape from the ground up. That magic will be in the air as the curtain is pulled back on the staged reading of the upcoming musical

The Cask of Amontillado a daring new adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s haunting short story – a twisted tale of pride and revenge beginning its transformation into a fully realized theatrical world. With a book and lyrics by John Cozzi and an original score (and additional lyrics) by Laurence Dresner this musical adaptation stays true to Poe’s gothic roots while reimagining the story with haunting melodies and a darkly lyrical style. Set in Italy during Carnival the production brings to life the tale’s themes of betrayal obsession and the chilling consequences of vengeance.

The staged reading will take place at Sparkle on Stage 195 Woodcleft Avenue Freeport New York on November 8th.
