Matthew Lewis's 1796 masterpiece of gothic fiction, widely recognised as having more-or-less defined the far edge of sensational Gothicism, is brought to the stage in a sinister and striking new adaptation. Through powerful visual imagery, stunning physical theatre, storytelling and multi-media techniques, a group of seven disabled actors explore the diabolical decline of Ambrosio, the most worthy of Capuchin monks, as he is tempted by the beautiful Matilda and eventually succumbs to magic, murder, incest and torture.
