The Fall Of The House Of Usher

This spellbinding stage version of Edgar Allan Poe’s masterpiece was written and directed by Arthur Yorinks and Jim Simpson and featured a score by Philip Glass, adapted from the House of Usher opera that Glass and Yorinks created in 1988. The work-in-progress presentation was replete with puppets, musicians, actors, and projections — and it was suggested for audiences 16 and older.
