The works of Edward Gorey feature macabre themes, gothic absurdity, and deadpan humor surrounding death, misfortune, and the untimely disappearance and demise of both adults and children. There is also sexual innuendo satirizing jazz age erotica. The show is intended for adults and those under 18 will not be admitted.
What better way to capture the magical spirit of the spooky season in the Hudson Valley than to experience a delicious dinner followed by absurdly macabre tales and songs? Join us within the cozy walls of Peter Pratt's historic Inn nestled in the rolling hills of Yorktown - just 40 miles north of NYC.
