LWLP Workshop 2020
Three New Tales by Philip Goodridge
Thanks to funding from the City of St. John’s and ArtsNL, LWLP is currently workshopping three brand new tales by Philip Goodridge. This year’s offerings include Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, The Frost, and Professor Charlemagne and the Age of Shadows
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
As night falls on a sleepy little town, young Matilda settles in for a night of babysitting. But then she starts to receive menacing phone calls, threats on her life. Is it just a terrible prank? Or is there a stalker lurking just outside the door? It’s the classic slasher story you know and love but with a few bloody twists and turns you won’t see coming.
The Frost
Every summer, famous writer Bradford Whittle comes to stay at Blue Pine Cottages to work on his next best seller. He’s had to deal with nosy tourists before, but this year there are strange goings on, people going missing, people going mad, and an ominous unseasonable frost that creeps in closer and closer to the camping resort. He soon comes to learn that the frost is no weather anomaly, but a menacing force that threatens to consume everything it touches.
Professor Charlemagne and the Age of Shadows
In this thrilling sequel, Professor Charlemagne is back with her plucky band of adventurers to face off against a new enemy! She and her friends have been invited to the Natural History Museum for the Gala opening of a mysterious new exhibit. They realize all too late that there is evil afoot and the party-goers are attacked by vicious creatures. This is the work of an ancient society determined to bring about the end of the world and it’s up to our heroes to stop the Age of Shadows from destroying humankind.
Ladies Who Lunch Productions 2020 workshop of three new tales is supported by ArtsNL and the City of St. John’s.
