Nordo Presents a world premiere play served with four courses of creative cuisine and scored with live original music. This February, Seattle’s trailblazer Sara Porkalob debuts a gothic tale of sexuality and feminism complete with blood, corsets, and cake -- "The Angel in the House". Named after Coventry Fallows’ 19th-century poem extolling the virtues of the “perfect wife,” "The Angel in the House" begins New Year’s Eve in 1899 in the home of Mrs. Edmund Brown. The highest of England’s high society is gathered to ring in a very special New Year alive with ancient prophecy. When a mysterious stranger arrives and a cold body is found in the garden, the evening takes a shocking turn toward the sinister. Porkalob offers an original lens on the classic style of the Victorian thriller using societal norms of then to skewer those of today. Exploring gender roles, sexuality, and power, "The Angel in the House" is a delicious, blood-soaked romp with all of the trappings of a bodice-ripper and the searing social commentary we have come to expect from this artist-activist. With Nordo’s singular ability to turn a play into an experience, audiences will be wined and dined in The Culinarium, transformed into the great room of Sir Edmund Brown’s estate, where live music and exquisite cuisine create a fully immersive gothic celebration.
