STRANGE CARGO: The Doom of The Demeter

Hey you lot! I can now officially announce that my new play, STRANGE CARGO: The Doom of the Demeter will World Premiere this fall as part of City Lit Theater’s 45th Season in Chicago, Illinois!

Based on Chapter Seven of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, this gothic horror high seas adventure tells the shocking events aboard the cargo ship transporting Count Dracula’s belongings from Transylvania to England. Suspicion, paranoia, and madness infect the crew as the harried sailors disappear one by one. Full of creeping mystery, vibrant language, rich characters, sinister vanishings, violent sea storms, swashbuckling action, monstrous puppetry, and, of course, a boatload of terrors, this is the Dracula tale you’ve never seen.

Here’s the link to the lit to the City Lit page: https://www.citylit.org/ A co-production with Black Button Eyes Productions, the play will be directed by the amazing Ed Rutherford and Sound Designed by my criminally talented brother Joe Griffin! Watch this space for ticket info!

YORICK, Jester of Denmark by Timothy Griffin – Staged Reading

Tuesday, February 11th at 7:30 PM, at City Lit Theatre, 1020 W Bryn Mawr Ave, Chicago, IL.


Twenty-three years before the events of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Yorick, a brilliant young jester, infiltrates Elsinore on a quest for revenge against Denmark’s Lord Chamberlain (and deadly spymaster), Polonius. Full of comedy, sword fights, romance, juggling, heartache, horror, and an array of Shakespearean touchstones turned slightly askew, this love letter to the Bard is akin to such Shakespeare-adjacent plays as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and The Book of Will.

   ONE NIGHT ONLY!     FREE ADMISSION!

                        FEATURING

Courtney Abbott                Caty Gordon

Douglas Bryan Bean          Timothy Griffin

Ross Compton                    Jamie Redwood 

Shelley DeHosse                 Troy Schaeflein

Michael Dias                       Chad Wise
