Welcome to Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, London 1888. A sprawling, sinister, Victorian mad-house.
Please take your seat as we present three of the most intriguing and dangerous inmates in this forsaken place.
Allen, poor soul, thinks he’s as sane as you or I. A dismembered corpse under the floorboards tells a different story. “Now this is the thing – you fancy me mad? Madmen know nothing!… You should have seen how wisely I proceeded”
James waited years for the madness to consume him, and when it did, he was devoured completely! “The spirits whispered in my ear and the blood swirled in my brain… His dark eyes flashed with horror as he realised his fate!”
Jack, deeply troubled, and tormented relentlessly by his gruesome deeds and the poor victims who live-on inside his head. “I never wanted to be that monster!”
They may frighten, bewilder, or even charm you. Whatever you make of them, one thing we think you will agree – they should never, ever, be released.
Dean Wallace performs his three new thrilling stage adaptations; from Edgar Allan Poe’s iconic ‘The Tell Tale Heart’, Charles Dickens’ disturbing ‘A Madman’s Manuscript’, and his own original play ‘13 Millers Court’ which considers the fate of real-life Jack the Ripper suspect, George Hutchinson.
