The Black Cat

Edgar Allan Poe’s famous horror story is brought to life in a thrilling, physical staging accompanied by live music

A man’s relationship with his cat takes a horrific turn, leading to unexplainable supernatural events that rob him of everything he has.

Edgar Allan Poe’s world of horror, expressive words & morbid imagery comes to life like you've never seen before. Allow the narrator, played by Keaton Guimarães-Tolley & a mysterious woman, played by Catherine Warnock, to take you on a spine chilling journey of loss, addiction & questionable sanity.


Audience praise for The Black Cat from its sold out, acclaimed work-in-progress performance at Omnibus Theatre, as part of the StoneCrabs Directors In Practice showcase:

'What fabulous direction, so slick & the physicality… wow!'

'So good, so professional, & just stood out as an amazing piece of outstanding work'

'Truly a wonderful piece of theatre'


'Tautly directed, this ingenious adaptation of Poe's chilling tale of The Black Cat makes for a haunting, well paced production, plus an unforgettable & electrifying performance by the talented Guimarães-Tolley' Franko Figueiredo, Artistic Director of StoneCrabs Theatre
