Big
Telly Theatre Company presents Melmoth The
Wanderer 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
Gothic horror,
Exquisitely dark, Wickedly comic. Contact +44
