Big Telly Theatre Company presents

MELMOTH THE WANDERER

Touring Ireland and Scotland 10 February - 25 March 2012

Celebrating 25 years of outstanding theatre, sell out tours and a West End run, Big Telly, the company who brought you the ‘deliriously chaotic’ Puckoon (****What’s on Stage) brings to life another extraordinary book - Melmoth the Wanderer – the first ever horror novel, a brilliant mix of comedy and suspense.

Melmoth loves his job. He sold his soul in exchange for an extended life, international roaming and hypnotic charm. All he has to do in return is tempt others to the dark side. Easy. Also, he meets some really interesting people in his job, people at the edge of despair like the sane guy locked up in a madhouse, the illegitimate one hidden in a monastery, the gullible couple promised a huge inheritance, and then, out of the blue he meets an innocent, happy girl who’s grown up alone on a desert island and believes her father is a tree....Only one of them will survive.

All presented by five eejits who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. A random playground of the bizarre inspired by Scream, Tim Burton and Fawlty Towers using projection, animation and squeaky toys. The sort of theatrical anarchy that sets Big Telly apart.

Gothic horror, Exquisitely dark, Wickedly comic.
