Run Time: Approximately 60 minutes

A Spooky Season Tradition Returns to the BrickBox

Dark and darkly comic, this 60-minute solo show is staged as a séance, inviting audiences to conjure two of Edgar Allan Poe's most notorious narrators. In "The Tell-Tale Heart," an irrational obsession drives a nervous caregiver to madness. In "The Cask of Amontillado," the aggrieved Montresor lures his rival Fortunato to an untimely fate.

[THT Rep Artistic Director Livy] "Scanlon vividly brings to life multiple characters. Their brilliant portrayals are enhanced by the stellar work of the creative team." –BroadwayWorld

Standard general admission tickets are $63 ($59 + $4 fee).
