The Tell-Tale Heart

Desperate to prove their sanity, an unnamed Narrator recounts the events which drove them to commit an unspeakable act.

Thank you for joining us for an episode of RavenMad, a Cygnet & Swan production. ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ was originally written by Edgar Allan Poe. This adaptation was directed by Alexandra Meerbach with sound design by Marli van der Bijl, music by Matt Shaw and script adaptations by Alexandra Meerbach.

This episode is narrated by Olivia French and features the voice of Barry Kay as the Old Man with Gabriel Blake and James Wait as the policemen.
