Candle-lit story-telling, gallows humour and terrifying tableaux guaranteed to raise goose-bumps of dark Gothic delight. We invite you to feel the beat of the tell-tale heart, explore the House of Usher and heed the ravens call. Hear the tales of Edgar Allan Poe and witness the horror for yourself. Contemporary twists prove the enduring power Tin Shed Theatre Co. have been given a slot courtesy of Aberystwyth Arts Centre to show their latest piece Mr Edgar Allan Poe’s Terrifying Tales which premiered at Brighton Fringe festival. Performed at the dead of night, Tin Shed will blur the lines between storytelling and performance. Utilising only three chairs, a collection of books and a few empty bottles. Some of Poe’s most terrifying tales are brought to life in this compelling and visually inventive performance. Created especially for Brighton Fringe festival Mr Edgar Allan Poe’s Terrifying Tales sees the company expand their repertoire of work and further establish them as a company who take risks creating unique work in unlikely spaces. “The work we do is as varied as the stuff that inspires it. From performing in the back of moving taxi’s to coaxing audience members into writing their darkest secrets on our skin. We try to make what we do engaging, exciting and thought provoking, whilst never forgetting the importance of entertainment. We want to introduce our self to strangers, be bold and brave. Amaze with a tale and transport audiences to a place that, although remains detached from the literal, can still enlighten our perceptions of the real world.” Justin Cliffe Aberystwyth Arts Centre Thursday 15 September 2011 7.45pm (1hour) Ticket Prices: £6 / concs £4 Box Office: 01970 62 32 32 www.aber.ac.uk/artscentre |
