Since its inception 13 years ago, the\u00a0Edwardian Ball<\/a>\u00a0has grown into a much-anticipated multi-media event that merges music, ballroom dancing, carnival games, acrobatics and fashion into \u201can elegant and whimsical extravaganza\u2026\u201d that celebrates the creative spirit of author \/ illustrator\u00a0Edward Gorey<\/a>\u00a0(1925-2000). Founded in San Francisco by\u00a0Rosin Coven<\/a>\u00a0and co-hosted by the\u00a0Vau de Vire Society<\/a>, the Edwardian Ball returns to Los Angeles this February for the third time and promises another night of fun for all ages.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In what\u2019s become a highlight of every Edwardian Ball, Rosin Coven and the Vau de Vire Society will bring one of Gorey\u2019s stories to life through narration, theatrical choreography and music. This year they\u2019ve turned their prodigious talents on\u00a0The Doubtful Guest<\/em>, published in 1957. Told in a set of fourteen rhyming couplets and accompanied by beautifully spare pen and ink drawings, this charming, playful and mysterious story has endeared itself to readers for decades. If past experience is a guide, the performance is sure to captivate and delight all who experience it.<\/p>\n

What other talent can you expect at the Ball? The list is impressive.<\/p>\n
