 program will feature two one-act plays, THE TORTURE GARDEN by Pierre Chaine 
 and Andre de Lorde, a 1922 shocker from the repertoire of Le Théâtre du 
 Grand Guignol, the original French horror theatre, and THE PHANTOM LIMB, an 
 original play in the Grand Guignol tradition commissioned by Thrillpeddlers 
 from New York playwright Rob Keefe. The bill culminates with 
 Thrillpeddlers' famed black-out spook show finale when ghostly apparitions 
 materialize before the audience's startled eyes. The Hypnodrome's "Shock 
 Box" seats provide pairs of patrons with privacy and an added jolt of 
 “lights-out thrills”.\n\nPEARLS OVER SHANGHAI\nAn original musical by 
 Link Martin (book/lyrics) and Richard “Scrumbly” Koldewyn (music), 
 PEARLS OVER SHANGHAI is the centerpiece of Thrillpeddlers’ 2nd annual 
 Theatre of the Ridiculous Revival, and marks the 40th anniversary of the 
 formation of The Cockettes, a gender-bending theatrical troupe who not only 
 originated this show, but also exerted a profound influence on the culture 
 of our times, from the phenomenon of midnight movies to glitter rock stars 
 (such as David Bowie and the New York Dolls) and their outrageous fashions. 
 Pearls is a psychedelic musical inspired by sin soaked Old Shanghai and 
 Busby Berkeley movie musicals from Hollywood’s Golden Age.\n\nPEARLS OVER 
 SHANGHAI is a comic mock-operetta about white slavery, opium dens, and 
 miscegenation set in the colorful world of 1937 Shanghai. Link Martin parts 
 the bamboo curtain, his politics swept aside by his love of the mystery and 
 intrigue of the Orient. Placing his story at the crossroads of good and 
 evil, his exotic “old sin town” is filled with singing sailors, 
 humorous whores, foolish immortals, handmaidens and henchmen, all taking 
 their places in streets teeming with a mix of foreign aristocrats, opium 
 addicts, and gangland slave-trade czars.\n\n\nWHAT:	Thrillpeddlers
