A double-bill of melodramas from different styles and eras.
The Terror of London
written & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine
London, 1839. A new Queen has just ascended the throne. The future looks bright … and yet the city is in the grip of panic and hysteria, as a mysterious monster prowls the streets, scaring ladies out of their wits. And worse.
Who is he? What does he want? Is it all just a lark or does he have an ulterior motive?
East Lynne
written by Ellen Wood, writing as Mrs Henry Wood
adapted and directed by Matthew Paines
A wrenching Victorian melodrama of love, jealousy, and tragic redemption. The fragrant Isabel – lady of the manor – is undone by the dastardly Captain Francis Levison – cad, bounder, and absolute rotter!
Gossip, betrayal, and political rivalries escalate, forcing a shocking denouement: will the longsuffering husband forgive and forget? Will the wicked Captain Levison get his comeuppance? And what exactly is the relationship between the sister and the maid?
