About This Show:
As the orphaned children of a troupe of travelling actors Virginia and Allan’s life has been a grim one.
After losing all their relatives (including a pet cockroach called Byron) in a bizarre clowning accident, Virginia and Allan are determined to continue their family’s legacy and bring some hope to our bleak world.
Hence the cousins have decided to re-tell cautionary tales by that master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe.
Poe reinvented the Gothic form forever with his immortal short stories about the horrors of the human psyche.
Darkly romantic, maddeningly mysterious and sometimes satirically absurd Poe’s literary classics The Raven, Berenice and The Tell Tale Heart all get a modern reworking in this kooky cousin sideshow.
A magical musical comedic experience into the terrors of the human soul.
