Produced by Raven Productions Australia, directed by David Halgren and starring Hannah Raven. In these bazar and uneasy times of social isolation and domestic violence, no story in the history of literature speaks volumes of the loneliness and uncertainty people feel than Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart. This one woman psychological thriller follows a young woman who finds herself slowly consumed by her isolating circumstances. As the caretaker of an elderly man in the early 1800's, she finds her days and nights bleeding into one another as her lonely and isolating existence begins to fill her mind with perverse and violent fantasies of escapism. This begins as a rather palpable disdain for the old man, citing that it is his ‘vulture eye’ that vexes her, always watching her, controlling her every move. Our protagonist begins to plot the meticulous murder of the old man, and as the plan unfolds, we begin to ask ourselves are we witnessing someone’s descent into madness or have we just been privy to the workings of an evil genius.
Raven Productions’ feminist interpretation of The Tell-Tale Heart is bold, brave, and unnerving.
