Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! A post-Halloween treat from Bristol’s much-celebrated Red Rope Theatre and the lord of gothic literature Mr. Edgar Allan Poe. A rare adaptation of this timeless tale - dripping with existential dread, haunted-house insanity and opium-drenched horror - set in the Anglican chapel deep inside Arnos Vale’s eerie Victorian heart. "

Returning to Arnos Vale Cemetery for an extended run this year, following 6 sell-out productions (Dracula, Turn of the Screw, Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, A Christmas Carol, and Sherlock Holmes The Hound of the Baskervilles), Red Rope Theatre Company invite you to an evening that is not for the faint of heart. Enter the decrepit mansion of the Ushers in Edgar Allen Poe's macabre tale of dark obsession and crumbling sanity. Adapted for stage by Award-Winning writer Matt Grinter, and performed inside the magnificent Anglican Chapel.
A lone traveller visits his estranged childhood friend, Roderick Usher after receiving a letter asking for his help. Roderick and his twin sister Madeline live alone in a haunting and strange house, cursed by a mysterious sickness. Join us for a night of madness, horror, isolation, and familial secrets in our adaptation of the classic gothic tale, 'The Fall of the House of Usher'.
