Melmoth the Wanderer
Northern Ireland Tour Spring 2012
Edinburgh and UK Tour Autumn 2013

Based on the first ever horror novel written by rogue Irish Clergyman Charles Maturin, this is the tale of Melmoth, a scholar who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for 150 extra years of life. In this adaptation, Melmoth has stumbled upon a joyful choir practice and soon leads the members into a terrifying and strangely humorous descent into hell.
Be hypnotised by this gothic nightmare – a play where Saw meets Fawlty Towers meets Flann O’Brien.
