The Fall of the House of Usher

"Fear, shock and an assault on the senses in Fragmented Ego Theatre Company’s production of The Fall of The House of Usher.

Berkoff’s spooky, gothic theatrical adaptation of Poe’s vampiric tale charts the decay of the last two remaining descendents of the ancient house of Usher. Pedro DeSenna’s Oswald, manifests the sick ramblings of Roderick Usher’s mind, from the first blood curdling scream to the final death rattle. The incestuous relationship between Roderick (Oliver Flyte) and his twin sister Madeleine (Susanna Mayer) who move as one, feeding off each other for sustenance and passing disease between themselves, is brought to a quivering climax as the walls of the House of Usher fall around them.

Director Donna Savery combines trance-like movement, dance and physical theatre with puppetry and a chilling sound design, letting loose the demons, in this eerie Gothic thriller."

It is on at the Etcetera Theatre, London on 6-25 Sept 2005.  Click on the image for details.
