Description In the chilling halls of Z Ward Glenside sits one man, here to convince you of his sanity. The Tell-Tale Heart is a classic tale of gothic fiction – of murder and madness – presented as a tour de force one man opera. A man sits in a cell, a tortured soul, cursing the floorboards and that traitorous ever-beating heart. Edgar Allan Poe’s classic of Gothic fiction is performed by acclaimed tenor James Egglestone in the chilling halls of Z Ward, the home to South Australia’s “criminally insane” for 90 years.
