by H. H. Munro (Saki) (1870-1916)

Sredni Vashtar

My friend, the wonderful pianist Jeanne Golan, asked me if I'd like to draw along as she played Jorge Martin's Fantasy on Srendi Vashtar,
a composition based on Martin's opera of the same name at The Stone.  We projected this video by Andy Biskin along with her live performance.  
Sredni Vashtar is a great little creepy story by Saki about a sad little boy who gets possibly supernatural revenge on his all-powerful guardian.
