Hijos de Cthulhu digs up another entry for the hypothetical ‘Lovecraft as character’ encyclopedia.

In June 1983 a theatre show called ‘Lovecraft’ premiered at the University of Seville [in Spain]. The show was presented by the University Theater Group “Puppets”, founded in 1979 by various students and professors of the aforementioned University. It was described as…

“A deep and serene music announces that the show begins. Mad and tortured Lovecraft, mysterious and human Lovecraft appears on stage. “We do not intend to do a biographical work on Lovecraft, we have simply been impressed by some visual features of this character that appears to us full of contradictions.”

I wonder if the script and staging directions are still available? They might make for an interesting translation in the Lovecraft Annual 2022, or one of Joshi’s other journals?
