Adapted from the tale by Edgar Allan Poe
Directed by Jeff Gamlin
Summer, with its balmy, fun-filled, carefree days in the sun, is over. Ahead lurk the dark, ominous nights of October; with a chill in the air, and a few up your spine, as the scent of death lingers in the air, and its sound crunches and crackles beneath your feet, licking at your heels like the flames of Perdition. Yes, summer is dead. It's time to prepare for the fall. But try as you might, nothing can prepare you for this fall The Fall of the House of Usher!
Our story follows a comfortable, suburban family man who 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 adaptation transports Gothic horror into modern times, questioning the definition of sanity in the same way that Poe did in his original tale. This is truly a theatrical adventure with an apocalyptic ending...
