A fantastic, imaginative, wonderfully-researched series. I will miss this monthly treat until it returns in September. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Written on Apr 21 2008

You know, I always wanna see the shows put on at this theatre, but after going there, I'll never go again no matter how cheap or how interesting. You sit on the stage while the actors shuffle around you. Everyone in the audience is an annoying hipster who laughs too loudly at stuff that I'm not even sure was supposed to be a joke most of the time, in an effort to impress the other hipsters. My advice to the producers and actors is either get out of brooklyn or remodel the space so that theres some breathing room.Written on Jul 07 2008

Description
Like the original novels, Penny Dreadful has been serialized into 12 monthly installments; Chapter One began in November 2007. 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 website.
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 12-part tale of mystery and horror that takes place in the first decade of the 20th century and guest stars a parade of notable historical figures such as Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Edison as they weave in and out of the suspenseful tale.
Co-created for Williamsburg's Brick Theater by Matt Gray and Bryan Enk.
About the Ticket Supplier: The Brick Theater
The Brick and its company, The Brick Theater, Inc., were founded in 2002 by Robert Honeywell and Michael Gardner. Formerly an auto-body shop, a yoga center, and various storage spaces, this brick-walled garage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was completely refurbished as a state-of-the-art performance space.
The Brick has been home to many critically acclaimed premieres, including Memoirs of My Nervous Illness, Bizarre Science Fantasy, Tupperware Orgy, In a Strange Room (based on Faulkner's As I Lay Dying), Dear Dubya, Fallout Follies, World Gone Wrong, My Year of Porn, Who Is Wilford Brimley?, Jenna Is Nuts, Habitat, Absence of Magic, Assyrian Monkey Fantasy (in two movements), and The Pragmatists.
The Summer Theme Festival Series presented The Hell Festival in 2004, The Moral Values Festival in 2005, The $ellout Festival in 2006, and continues with The Pretentious Festival in Summer 2007. In addition, The Brick has also produced a short-works program called Brick-a-Brac, a collection of holiday-themed one-act plays known as The Baby Jesus One-Act Jubilee, and the hugely successful New York Clown Theatre Festival (the first of its kind in New York in more than 20 years).
