Hidden Gems of a Webseries: Edgar Allen Poe’s Murder Mystery Dinner Party

It’s so rare to find a canon that not only balances delightful humor with the macabre but also affectionately pays respect to the ever-present literary spirit (pun totes intended). The first webisode cements this balance in its well-crafted soundtrack - seriously, listen to each and every introduction and how the lyrics shift to personify each author that crosses that threshold.

It’s no mistake, mind you, that the score screeches to a halt upon the door opening to Emily Dickinson (or that the opening titles never quite have her grace our screens. No wonder she has to carve out her presence! She’s a real, live person!!).

The creative team’s gone above and beyond in peppering their work with literary jokes of all stripes (from Dostoyevsky’s “spirit for a spirit!” to even Oscar’s portrait rearing its beautiful head and Eliot insisting that she!! is!! a!! man!!!!) - after all, it makes sense that Lenore’s speech patterns are the only ones resembling ours. She escapes time and place; she’s not bound to history. She’s transcended it, much like a certain H.G. Wells and his (not-quite-yet-invented) Time Machine.

#ILovePoeParty not only because of its sharp wit (”Did someone say murder?”) but because of each and every loving detail. How a show manages to become better upon rewatching it, I have no clue, but Poe Party does it with such finesse that you notice new things (and reactions!) every time.

We've dropped a treat for some of our Kickstarter backers! 🎧 If you haven't joined the party, you have two more days to get exclusive behind the scenes perks!

We are so excited to welcome Lanae Wilks to the Shipwrecked family as our stage manager for Poe Party! Lanae has worked with many prestigious LA-area theatre companies, including Iama, A Noise Within, and the Geffen Playhouse. We are grateful to be in her hands for this show!

Poe Party. Gilded Lily. Headless. Greater Gatsby. Hooked on You. The Librarians: The Next Chapter. And now...back to the project that started it all. Everybody's favorite Indian-Scottish sibling writing duo has retooled and re-written Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party for the stage.

We've put aside our very real and longstanding feud and brought Brian Rosenthal on as producer for the Poe Party musical. With his extensive experience producing live theatre with the Tin Can Brothers, Brian is b ringing so much knowledge and guidance to Shipwrecked's first full live show. He's truly the MVP of of this team, and we're so happy to have him steering the ship!
