Edgar Allan Poe’s spine-chilling world reimagined with puppets

Based on the stories of celebrated American writer of mysteries and the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, this puppet thriller performed by leading puppeteers from Spain touches emotions from tenderness to fear.

Poor Edgar – dogged by misfortune, and guilty of loving the beautiful Annabel Lee – is thrown from one terror to another. Now beware of the cat with black magic powers, and the crazed, knife-wielding ape!

Awarded with the Critic’s Prize, Best Production Award at Lérida Puppet Theatre Festival, Spain and the Best Show Award at Pula International Festival (Croatia), the programme has performed across Europe.
