Big Telly Theatre Company presents
MELMOTH THE WANDERER
Touring Ireland and Scotland 10 February - 25 March 2012
Melmoth the Wanderer, colourful, condensed and quirky show based on the first ever horror novel, adapted by the hugely popular Big Telly and scripted by Nicola McCartney.
Five chancers present a terrifying tale of temptation, torture and a traveller desperate to find someone to take over his pact and release him from immortality. Who will take on his curse? His only surviving relative? Or a stranger in the depths of despair? Or an innocent child raised on a desert island with no knowledge of the world? Or the clowns compelled to play out this extraordinary tale of temptation, desire and cannibalism who may well have bitten off more than they can chew...
Comic surrealism meets shock horror in this series of ridiculous situations where innocent eccentrics struggle to survive. A random playground of the bizarre inspired by Saw, Psycho, Tim Burton and Fawlty Towers using projection, animation and squeaky toys. This is the sort of delirious chaos that sets Big Telly apart.
Gothic horror, Exquisitely dark, Wickedly comic.
