Tell-Tale Heart

“True! Nervous – very, very nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?” Thus begins the spine tingling short story by Edgar Allan Poe and thus begins this rousing field show by master arranger Key Poulan. The audience will delight in the musical presentation of this macabre tale. From pulse pounding to eerily somber, this show has it all.

“A devilishly delightful experience!”

PRE SHOW WARM-UP

A hauntingly beautiful optional pre-show introduction sets the stage for the mayhem to come.

The Old Man's Eye

Sit back, strap yourself in and hold on tight. You can feel the panic and sense of doom build throughout this fast-paced opener.

The Murder

A bewitching flute solo is followed by tension so thick you can cut it with a knife! The extended percussion break literally makes your heart beat faster and faster. The deed is done.

The Beating Heart Beneath the Wooden Planks

A sense of paranoia sets in as our protagonist sinks into madness. You will have your audience on the edge of their seats until the very end.
