One Man Poe: The Tell-Tale Heart and The Pit and the Pendulum
31 October - 2 November 2024, 7.30 pm
Spend the perfect Halloween night with two award-winning horror shows from a master of the genre!
Performed and Directed by Stephen Smith
Written by Edgar Allan Poe
Using Edgar Allan Poe’s original text from the 1840s, one actor faithfully brings to life the most terrifying examples of the gothic genre from the pioneering Godfather of Gothic Horror.
In The Tell-Tale Heart, we meet a madman, trying his hardest to convince us of his sanity, whilst explaining the meticulous details of a murder he committed. Then, in The Pit and the Pendulum, we join a prisoner trying to escape the various torture devices of the Spanish Inquisition.
One Man Poe returns to London after a sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2024, where it won the Spookies Award for Best Horror Solo Show.
