The Masque of the Red Death (2026)
Lyndhurst Mansion transforms into Prince Prospero’s Abbey from Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death.
Join us this October for an evening of intrigue when Lyndhurst Mansion transforms into Prince Prospero’s Abbey from Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death. This immersive theater experience will take you through the Gothic halls of our 1842 historic home, dressed in the garish colors and grotesque beauty of Poe’s 1842 horror story. Performed and produced by Irvington Shakespeare Company, guests will experience the feverish masquerade as a guest of Prospero, walking with delight and dread from room to room as they hear the tale of the doomed revelers.
