A Blossoming Love, A Decaying Plan

Just in time for spooky season, this spine-tingling love story, inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s Victorian Gothic classic, comes alive onstage. A father's love for his ailing daughter and her growing affection for his medical assistant create an ethical dilemma as they push medical boundaries. As the bodies stack up, the question is asked – how deep will you dig for the one you love?

The run time is 2 hours, including one intermission.

In this spine chilling thriller, audiences can expect minor language and violence. Strobes, flashing and revolving lights, haze, and fog will be used during the performance.
