Photo Flash: In Rehearsal for THE HOUSE OF USHER at The Hope Theatre
The House of Usher, created by Luke Adamson & Dan Bottomley, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, will run at The Hope Theatre (207 Upper Street, Islington, N1 1RL) 18th Oct - 5th Nov 2016 with press night set for 20th October 2016. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in rehearsal below!
The Ushers are an ancient and noble line, known for a number of things; repeated deeds of charity, a passionate devotion to the intricacies of musical science and a collection of many works of exalted art. What is not generally known is that they are plagued by an ancient family evil, a curse. This curse is causing Roderick Usher to be ill, sensitive to light and sound and unable to step outside the doors of his house. He calls upon his old childhood friend for help. When the friend arrives he finds himself becoming more and more involved and falling deeper and deeper into the dark tangled web that is The House of Usher.
Secrets surface, friendships are tested and a dark secret threatens to bring the House of Usher crashing down. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's gothic masterpiece "The Fall of The House of Usher" with a brand new score and a small cast of exceptional actor-musicians this gothic musical thriller promises to be the Halloween show not to miss. All shall fall.
The cast includes Cameron Harle as the eponymous Roderick Usher, Eloise Kay as his sister Madeline and Richard Lounds as the Narrator. The show is written by Luke Adamson and Dan Bottomley, it is directed by Luke Adamson and Phil Croft with Musical Direction by Rob Gathercole.
