Overview

A comfortable, suburban family man receives a desperate call from a forgotten childhood acquaintance. Thus starts a journey into madness that takes Ed Allen to the House of Usher and its terrible secrets and temptations. This modern adaptation of the classic short story by Edgar Allen Poe transports Gothic horror into the 90s, questioning the definition of sanity in the same way Poe did. This is an exhilarating theatrical adventure with an apocalyptic ending. Actors and designers will be challenged in new ways in this unpredictable and wildly entertaining play. Use of the music is not mandatory but will enhance productions.
