About the event
September 13-29, 2024*
Apparitions of acclaimed novelists gather for tea, literary debate and fanciful parlor games in the whimsical, oceanside, Sylvia Beach Hotel dedicated to authors and books. When unusual guests arrive on a dark and stormy night, the game turns into a true mystery, and there is unexpected upheaval for the spirits of the Sylvia Beach Hotel. Whatever will become of Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, Edgar Allen Poe and the mistress of ceremonies, Agatha Christie, when a new author with a mysterious pen name arrives? And who are the two unusual guests that wish to communicate with the spirits of Sylvia Beach? Join us for this West Coast Premiere!
