Inspired by the adventure-filled dime novels of the 19th and early 20th century, PENNY DREADFUL is an innovative epic for the stage co-created for Williamsburg's Brick Theater by Bryan Enk and Matt Gray. Like the original novels, PENNY DREADFUL has been serialized into monthly installments with Season One (Episodes 1-6) beginning November 2007 and Season Two (Episodes 7-12) beginning October 2008. Audiences will be able to follow the labyrinthine plot twists and re-experience the cliffhanger endings through video downloads of each episode following their live performance, available on the Third Lows Productions official website (www.thirdlows.com/pennydreadful).

The year is 1909 and the discovery of a bloodless body has San Francisco abuzz. It will be up to a second-rate showman and an oddball detective of the supernatural to put together the clues - a mysterious hearing aid, a missing creature from the darkest corner of the earth, a secret society bent on world domination, a man who can control earthquakes, and the greatest magic trick ever performed. PENNY DREADFUL is a tale of mystery and horror that begins in the first decade of the twentieth century and guest stars a parade of notable historical figures such as Harry Houdini and Thomas Edison as they weave in and out of the suspenseful tale.
