Martine Chifflot’s Lovecraft-Sonia stage play “Lovecraft, mon amour” will be staged in Burgundy, France, in September 2021…

It appears to have premiered(? on Zoom?) in March in Clermont-Ferrand, which is smack in the middle of France about 40 miles west of Lyon…

A fantastic theatrical and musical biopic, written for the centenary (1921-2021) of the meeting of H.P. Lovecraft and Sofia Greene Davis, his only wife. The play immerses the audience in American popular music from the years 1920-47. It opens in 1947 when Sonia learns of the passing of her husband H.P. Lovecraft, ten years after his death. This news upsets her and causes memories to flood back. But then a strange feeling grows — Howard is here [to speak to]. From recollections to confidences, these two people reconstruct the course of their thwarted love, so extraordinary and overwhelming. Will Sonia understand Howard [at last]? Is love stronger than death?

The book version of the play appeared in 2018, and was acclaimed by S.T. Joshi…

Update: Apparently there was a “Vichy” date also, now “postponed to 2022”. A first-try “movie of the play” is also being made and said to be “online soon”.
