Everybody loves a good ghost story, yet poor dead Vee feels anything
but “good” being stuck upstage in the heavens of her own afterlife. She
can peek in on Val, who’s “downstage” with the living but haunted by ghosts.
Then there’s Julie, stubbornly stage left but longing to be downstage
with Val. And finally, poor Peter remains solitary in his
stage-rightness with the sneaking suspicion he might be dead wrong.
Trapped at center stage lurks the demon Iago, willing to bridge heaven
and hell to exit this cursed performance once and for all. Just as Good
Omens revamped the book of Revelation and His Dark Materials reimagined
Milton’s Paradise Lost, Iago’s Penumbra is a modern love story about
the darkness that redeems us, rooted in the works of William
Shakespeare—with a little philosophy, physics, and cosmic horror thrown
in, just for fun.
