CABARET: Shoggoth's Old Peculiar - Anywhere Festival

Title: Shoggoth’s Old Peculiar

Presented By: Anywhere Festival

Genre: Cabaret / Live Music / Horror-Folk / Immersive Theatre

Synopsis: Shoggoth’s Old Peculiar is a darkly whimsical cabaret experience blending live music, theatrical performance, and immersive visuals. Inspired by the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft (and cheekily named after a Shoggoth's Old Peculiar), the show follows a troupe of bizarre vaudevillian characters as they guide audiences through strange, otherworldly landscapes. Expect a mix of jaunty horror-folk songs, gothic storytelling, and surreal imagery exploring madness, monsters, and murder.
