The Masque of the Red Death is a stage adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe short story of the same name. Exploring themes of class consciousness and armchair activism, it tells the tale of Prince Prospero, the ruler of Terra Firma, who seals himself and others inside his castle to hold a brilliant masquerade while a plague destroys his kingdom and its people. We follow Princess Opula, who hopes to find a way to support those outside of the castle dying from this plague known as the Red Death. There are also pigs in blankets.
