The Velvet Edge: A Gothic Horror

Written by Blake Drezet.  Directed by Des Hussey & Blake Drezet

The Velvet Edge was an original two act play written by Blake Drezet, co founder of Spectral Theatre.  It was a gritty, erotic period drama set in the decadent heart of 18th century France and overflowing with sensuous flair and tantalizing horror.  Utilizing rich costumes, elaborate set elements and horrific special effects it was Spectral's most lush and ambitious project to date.

Chapel Arts, Nov. 5th -6th and 8th - 15th, 2008.
