LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT LIVE!
Be the first to perform the theatrical version of the long-lost mystery/horror film LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT Live on Stage —
OR obtain the film rights to the script which are soon to be up for auction to the highest bidder!
Details forthcoming very soon!
This stage play is adapted from the known-to-exist source content — which includes the original story, shooting script and continuity script and existing still photos from this lost film — all of which are contradictory. Eric Stedman in the new script has synthesized all these sources and finally made it all make sense.
Has Roger Balfour been murdered? We thought so — but his body isn't in his tomb! Whoare the mysterious Man in the Beaver Hat and the "Bat Girl" who have signed the deed to buy Balfour Mansion? Are they vampires? Whose is the mysterious voice that calls out to innocent Lucy in the night? And what will Inspector Burke and Sir James Hamlin discover when they break in to the decaying mansion at night?
The audience will find out when they see this play, which is set up to resemble the experience of seeing a silent film in a theater, complete with an organist underscoring scenes and providing transitions between them.
Film rights to this play will be made available soon by auction. More information to be posted here and at www.vanishingshadows.com soon!
PLAYS AND MUSICALS
When just out of college, Eric wrote the first musical adaptation of the classic story Beauty and the Beast, which was performed in 1990 at Bristol Riverside Theatre and later at other locations in the Philadelphia area. For the last 15 years Beauty and his other plays and musicals including Rapunzel, Peter Pan and Wendy and The Testimony of Lizzie Borden have been performed all over the world. He also directed the premiere performance of John Balderston’s Frankenstein, which was the basis of the 1931 film. Performance rights to Eric's shows can be obtained at the Storyland Theatre website.
