Cthulhu Mythos in Theatre

H. P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos have had a significant influence on later works in a wide variety of media. The following is a non-comprehensive alphabetical list of stage productions that, while not direct adaptations of Lovecraft's works, contain references, allusions or themes that have their origin with Lovecraft, or appear likely to have been inspired by his fiction.
*HP Lovecraft's The Shadow over Innsmouth: January 2012, the Cape Cod based Provincetown Theater announced a reading of a full-length play of the story, entitled HP Lovecraft's The Shadow over Innsmouth, adapted for the stage by Bragan Thomas.
*The Rats in the Walls (2006): Tim Uren adapted the Lovecraft story into a one-man play of the same name which was performed at the 2006 Minnesota Fringe Festival.
*The Rats in the Walls (2007): Dave Walsh adapted and performed the one-man play at Shakespeare by the Sea, Newfoundland Festival.
*H. P. Lovecraft's The Dreams in the Witch House (2008): "The Dreams in the Witch House" was brought to the stage by WildClaw Theatre Company in Chicago, in conjunction with Weird Tales Magazine's 85th anniversary. It was adapted and directed by WildClaw Artistic Director Charley Sherman.
*The Dunwich Horror (2011): the Lovecraft story was adapted by David Dawkins of Ororo Productions for the inaugural London Horror Festival. The production retained a great deal of the language from the original story and was both praised and criticised for this, though reviews were generally positive.
*The Picture In The House (September 2011): the Cape Cod-based Provincetown Theater Company announced that an adaptation of the Lovecraft story would be performed live onstage at the November 2011 Fall Playwright's Festival in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
