Everybody loves a good ghost story, yet poor dead Vee feels anythingbut “good” being stuck upstage in the heavens of her own afterlife. Shecan 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 downstagewith Val. And finally, poor Peter remains solitary in hisstage-rightness with the sneaking suspicion he might be dead wrong.Trapped at center stage lurks the demon Iago, willing to bridge heavenand hell to exit this cursed performance once and for all. Just as GoodOmens revamped the book of Revelation and His Dark Materials reimaginedMilton’s Paradise Lost, Iago’s Penumbra is a modern love story aboutthe darkness that redeems us, rooted in the works of WilliamShakespeare—with a little philosophy, physics, and cosmic horror thrownin, just for fun.
