Tell-Tale

OFF-BROADWAY COMEDY THRILLER | GLAAD MEDIA AWARD NOMINEE

Written by Erik Forrest Jackson
Directed by Joshua Rosenzweig

Lenore Usher, a bestselling author with a terror of leaving her Central Park penthouse, has retreated from almost everything that once gave her pleasure. Her ex-husband, meanwhile, has decided there may be an easier way to stop paying alimony.

When the would-be assassin he sends into Lenore’s apartment meets an unexpected end, she is left with a dismembered body, an increasingly suspicious housekeeper and a pager that refuses to stop beeping.

Drawing wickedly from Edgar Allan Poe, B-movie noir and downtown camp, Tell-Tale premiered at P.S. 122 before transferring Off Broadway to the Cherry Lane Theatre. The play was nominated for the GLAAD Media Award for Best Play.
