Obsession reaches beyond the grave. A man escapes into the memories of his first love to avoid the impossible bind he has been put under by his employers. A fantastical journey into the semi-real of a man’s subconscious building on Poe’s final poem to create an enchanting mix of text and physical performance. Striking. Passionate. Haunting and visceral. Edinburgh’s homegrown ensemble Cathartic Connections presents a contemporary adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘Annabel Lee’. The Scotsman’s Roger Cox highlighted Cathartic’s ‘penetrating writing and highly effective passages of physical theatre, rich in symbolism … speaks volumes without saying a word’ (Scotsman).
