The Devil in the Belfry
Edgar Allan Poe's satirical short grows arms, legs and teeth in a fantastical and frantic monologue by Dave Robb, directed by Flavia D'Avila, as part of Edinburgh Horror Festival!
About The Devil in the Belfry
Handel Fledermaus has travelled from the distant and idyllic town of Vondorvotteimittiss, where the cabbage is king and time is sacred. A supernatural invader has plunged his once idyllic home into chaos, and he seeks the help of anyone who would believe his tale. But with a giant clock, a flying fiddler and a horde of ravenous pigs, it’s a very tall tale indeed.
