The Masque of the Red Death
"The Masque of the Red Death" was a major theatre production by British company Punchdrunk, following their production of "Faust" in 2006 and echoing the format of that show. It played for a 7-month sold-out run, and was seen by more than 40,000 people, involving a cast of around 35 and utilising almost all of the space within the Battersea Arts Centre building. The narrative was based on the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, including but not limited to "The Masque of the Red Death" (1842).
