The Masque of the Red Death
Despite the title, the show was actually based on eight Edgar Allan Poe tales, including "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Black Cat", "William Wilson", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "Berenice", "Ligeia", "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether", "The Telltale Heart" and "The Cask of Amontillado". The show did not utilise a central narrative beyond the loose themes of "The Masque of the Red Death", but rather encouraged the audience to experience short sections of acting and dance described in the Financial Times as "an impressionistic collage of several of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories rather than anything resembling a linear drama".
