The Tell-Tale Heart (2010)

"A man - a murderer - sits alone upon a staircase, pursued by shadows, weeping darkness and throwing up demons. If at first he seems a mass of neuroses, his tics and spasms the symptoms of a terrible guilt, soon enough he is revealed as the dark soul of our age and, eventually, of the state of a theatre trembling on the edge of obsession and madness."

The return of a production first performed at the Malthouse in 2007.

"A CAREFULLY COUNTOURED MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL JEWEL ... MARTIN NIEDERMAIR IS UNFORGETTABLE."

— Sydney Morning Herald

"THIS IS THEATRE THAT PLAYS IN THE MINDS OF THE AUDIENCE AS MUCH AS IT DOES ON STAGE, THAT INVITES US TO COME ON A VOYAGE INTO OUR OWN SUBCONSCIOUS ... THIS IS POE RENDERED NAKED, STRIPPED OF THE RAGS OF GOTHIC MELODRAMA AND IT IS A TERRIFYING VISION."

— The Australian
