Masque of the Red Death

By Edgar Allen Poe

Part gothic fable, part rave at the end of the world...

Partners: MONA FOMA, Salamanca Wharf Hotel

Set in an opulent abbey during a rampant blood plague, Prince Prospero seals himself inside with a thousand friends to party until death burns itself out, and it becomes safe to return to the habitable world. But their plans disintegrate when a mysterious visitor crashes the party, and their haven becomes a tomb. Poe's influential and timely short story is a sumptuous warning for our era.

​

Building on the recent success of the 2020 The Bleeding Tree and Venus and Adonis season, which played to capacity houses, the creative team would reassemble for a follow up production.The Masque of the Red Death will be a bespoke music-theatre event.

Past the Shallows

Stage and Film

Development Partner: Arts Tasmania Ten Days on the Island

Past the Shallows shows us the other Tasmania, the cold and harsh Tasmania of late last century, isolated, and extraordinary, where beauty and hardship reign, where an apple from an outcast can be the kindness that saves a child.  For a day. 

Favel’s writing is regularly compared to Cormac McCarthy, and Past the Shallows has found a perennial place on Australia’s HSC syllabus.  

An instant Australian classic, selling 50,000 copies last year alone.  Her work is spare, precise, unflinching.  Archipelago has developed a stage adaptation by Julian Larnach with Ben Winspear, and the support of Arts Tasmania.
