Handel Fledermaus has traveled from the distant town of Vondorvotteimittiss, where the cabbage is king and time is sacred. A supernatural invader has plunged his once idyllic home into chaos, and he seeks the help of anyone who would believe his tale. But with a giant clock, a flying fiddler, and a horde of ravenous pigs, it’s a very tall tale indeed.

Edgar Allan Poe’s satirical short grows arms, legs, and teeth in a fantastical and frantic monologue by Dave Robb, directed by Flavia D’Avila.

​

The Devil in the Belfry has been developed with support from the Guest Room initiative from the National Theatre of Scotland and had its world premiere at the inaugural Cymera Festival of sci-fi, horror, and fantasy literature in Edinburgh.
