Commissioned and broadcast in our Classics N'at online reading series in 2020! This deeply chilling adaptation wears its dark heart on its sleeve. Whether you're a lover of literature or a horror buff, there's something in this riveting tragicomic tale for everyone to latch onto. In bringing Poe to Pittsburgh, Alec has forged his one-person play with a refreshing specificity that only serves to underline its universality.

I'm a fan of Edgar Allan Poe's work, and I really enjoyed how this play incorporates elements from numerous Poe stories, and not just "The Tell-Tale Heart". This is an excellent re-imagining of a classic tale for the modern age/modern stage!

I loved watching A TELL-TALE HEART as presented by the Pittsburgh Public Theatre! This adaptation is just as creepy as the source material, but also funny, uniquely Pittsburghian, and totally engrossing. Silberblatt plays with warmth and charm alongside horror and gore in a way I've never seen before and was totally fascinated by. A perfect show for Halloween!
