A new stage adaptation of Lovecraft’s “The Hound”, in review. The very positive review has details of this successful adaptation’s changes and staging…

Bodine improves the story at its beginning and end, setting up the narrative’s frame with a phone call to Carter and adding a dramatic event to make the story’s inexplicable conclusion more plausible. When the hound finally does arrive, though he is not on stage, we see him, in Farnsworth’s terrified expression and in the hellish green light which emanates from a doorway.
