Friday the 13th: Multimedia Performance

Sufferers of paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th) steer clear! This day-after-Thursday-the-12th, we’re joined by author and unscrupulous stockbroker, Thomas W. Lawson (1857-1925) who will read an abridged version of his 1907 novel (itself about a unscrupulous stockbroker) Friday the 13th, all the while we will play 1980’s slasher picture, Friday the 13th. It’s Friday the 13th: double trouble! Is this performance art? Stunt spectacle? A bit on inanity? Will the film and early 20th century novel sync as neatly as say, Wizard of Oz and “Dark Side of the Moon”? And through just what sort of devilry did the late Lawson return to us? Is his Boston accent any good? Drop in this afternoon and see for yourself! Please note, the film contains violent imagery.
