This Halloween WRW’s first holiday offering tackles a classic novel of terror and imagination, The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells. We are lucky to have the illustrious and talented William S. Gregory to adapt this timeless novel for us. As with his past work with us, Mr. Gregory brings a different spin to the classics of the past, his Ogle Award winning version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is just such a case in point. Mr. Gregory re-imagines this story of science and biology and the limits of both. This story, From the Case Files of Dr. Moreau, uses the point of view of the manimals (as we like to call them) as opposed to the usual human point of view. The questions of freedom, nature, man’s rights and animal rights all come into play. The genius of Dr. Moreau takes on new depths and the story of his children, created by his own hand, follows new leads with classic, tragic results.

WRW has once again collected an amazing group of artists to help bring the jungles of Moreau’s island and the horrors of his laboratory to life. Sound designers with out peer, Martin John Gallagher, Jadea Hales and Marc Rose (winners of a shelf full of national and local awards) are taking care of music, Foley and sound design that will fill your imaginations with sounds of the wild and sensual jungle. The cast and crew includes Cindy McGean, Curt Hanson, Megan Murphy Ruckman, David Loftus, Joshua North, Matt Haynes, Phillip Bursch, Andrew Hales,  Alexandria Paris and Sam A. Mowry, who also produces and directs.

Come see what all the fuss is about. Makes GMF look pretty tame.
