I know by reading reviews online that Mr. Bradbury had made a stage play version of the SWTWC book, but I do not know where I can get a copy and possibly discuss rights of use for my theatre troupe here in Washington DC. Does anyone here have any answers for me? (I hope )

Thanks in advance...

Chad

I'm pretty sure the script hasn't been published (most of Ray's plays are available from Dramatic Publishing: http://www.dramaticpublishing.com/TitlesByAuthorCat.cfm?titlelink=9094&author=Bradbury,%20Ray - but they don't have this one listed.

You should probably contact Ray's agents:

Reviving an old thread to report that Bradbury's stage play version of Something Wicked is soon to be touring in the UK. Info on my website, and here:

More pictures from the current Scottish/UK tour of the play here:

That is one great picture!

Do you mean that big one above, with the ferris wheel? It captures the novel perfectly!

That's the one to which I was referring. I also rather like the skull in the clouds.

Well, of course. And the lightning is pretty neat, and the carousel blurring away there.

Oh, it's a marvellous picture, and just in time for October, a rare month for boys (and girls)!

More marvellous pictures (and a video clip of the Dust Witch rehearsing her moves!) can be found here:

Dust Witch rehearsing her moves...that's a great sentence.

I saw something not unlike a Dust Witch last night during a viewing of Usher II. She moved out of the darkness to seize the baddie by the throat - frightening scene.

Here's the first review of the Scottish production, from one of the UK's national daily newspapers:

Another review, from a Scottish newspaper:

Did you ever cross the border to see this production?

Good to see so much enthusiasm for the stage production of Something Wicked This Way Comes.

You can get a flavour of the show from our theatrical trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvOTKuOd_RI
