"A wealthy recluse and his private nurse live behind a barricade of bolted doors and blacked-out windows. Suspicion and resentment grow until the nurse hatches a foolproof plan to dispose of his patient. When the deed is done, the silence of the empty house is shattered by a curious thumping from beneath the floorboards.

This gripping tale of murder in the dark is performed by one actor, alongside a sound artist creating totally live sound effects and music. Every heartbeat, every ticking death watch beetle, every bump in the night happens right before your ears in this brand-new adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's mini-masterpiece."
