Product Description
An exciting new adaptation of the classic Poe tale, re-invented as a detective thriller, and set in 1930's Boston.
James Brookfield, and up-and-coming writer of potboilers from New York City, is invited to the Boston home of his childhood friend, Roderick Usher, to, as his host suggests, "chronicle the evolution" of the House of Usher. What begins for Brookfield as a pleasant distraction from the busy hubbub of New York literary circles turns into a malestrom of horror when he slowly discovers Usher's secret intent, and realizes that the life of Usher's sister, Madeline, as well as Brookfield's own life, are in terrible danger. Told as a series of lightning-paced flashbacks as tough-as-nails police detective Michael Shaughnessy questions Brookfield about what actually happened to cause the fire that destroyed the House of Usher, the play moves relentlessly to its terrifying, stunning conclusion. By the author of First Night and Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.
