Everyone 'knows' Edgar Allan Poe died mysteriously in Baltimore in 1849. But in 2020 a trunk of mysterious papers was discovered by the very same researchers who previously discovered the Lovecrafted archive (revealed during the 2019 Fringe). Did the forty-year-old Poe fake his death, flee to a remote island nation and live out the rest of his life writing epically gothically tragically romantically fantastical stories shaped by the myths and realities of life among the phlegmatic people of the farthest-flung corner of the British Empire??

The Wellington Improvisation Troupe (WIT) is Wellington’s community-based improv group, teaching and performing together since 2003. WIT hosted the first NZIF in 2008, and has been delighted to see the festival grow since then into its own amazing independent vortex of annual improv happiness.
“Macabre made mischievous, whimsical and often hilarious” — Theatreview
“WIT has a long history and a wealth of experience which shows in the chemistry between the team” — Theatreview
