The Tell​-​Tale Heart

by Simon McCorry

subscriber exclusive

about

Another from the archive collaboration with actor Oliver Senton and percussionist Thierry Besson. This was one our first settings of short stories to music. This from Edgar Allen Poe's - The Tell-Tale Heart.

When I was first introduced to Oliver as a potential collaborator by a friend who has sadly since dies I suggested we go together to Abney Cemetery in Stoke Newington after he suggested working in the Tell Tale Heart. More on a whim because I was fascinated with the overgrown cemetery and the ruined chapel at its centre. I though it would make a great place fro a performance. We went to a cafe or pub (can't remember which or why) next to the cemetry and chatted with the owner who talked about a festival they had of performance and that Edgar Allen Poe went to a school in Stoke Newington on which the Fall of The House of Usher was based. What a strange serendipity ?
