'A modern-day Christmas turkey': THE TELL-TALE HEART " National Theatre

With its world-class resources, the theatre offers a wondrous potential to stage the most chilling of tales and when the source material is a famed Edgar Allan Poe short chiller, the anticipation is only heightened. But in Anthony Neilson's The Tell-Tale Heart transplant, Poe's gloriously gothic original is served up as a modern-day Christmas turkey.
