Brought to Light: Shadowplay performance!

Few days ago, actor James Llewellyn Evans performed an adaptation of Brought To Light: Shadowplay, a political graphic novel published by Eclipse Comics in 1988, co-published with Warner Books for broader distribution in 1989, as well as from Titan Comics. The book was based on research and lawsuits filed by the Christic Institute against the USA concerning CIA covert operations. 

Shadowplay - The Secret team was written by Moore with astounding art by Bill Sienkiewicz.

James Llewellyn Evans contacted me, providing valuable additional information:

Here are two videos of my performance of "Brought to Light: Shadowplay - the secret team" at a basement pub called The Wych. 

Performed under the name "Shadowplay 1989" with the permission of Moore, Sienkiewizc and Gary Lloyd. A "one night only tribute performance" (for the time being) it was attended by about 55 people crammed into a small bar on a Sunday night to see this obscure out-of-print comic book performed in Toronto. 

The first video is a first person POV of the Dress Rehearsal in the empty bar in the middle of the day where you can clearly see all of the props and sight gags right in front of the camera. 

You can watch it HERE

The second is an archival video of the performance itself and the audience response.

Grazie mille, James! Great work!
