About the Show
Feeling the scary? Here’s a go-to for your October theater vibes. The Heart Tells Tales, an original play from Omen Kaine, promises to be haunting and an immersive pleasure. The play is unique because, while not a musical, it features live music and an electrifying original score from The Clandestine Circle Quintet fusing hip hop, rock and jazz. The storyline draws inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” and a deal gone wrong at the crossroads, between a musician and an odd guy. No one gets betrayed? Right? Right? Settle in for a psychological thriller set in Boston, MA, as The Heart Tells Tales, serves you a farflung cast of characters, from a mystical musician and his wary caretaker, to a trio of tough, razzing cops who face a mysterious disappearance. Listen for the beating heart ... is it still alive and under the floorboards?
