Eldritch: The Confessions of Cthulhu

Eldritch: The Confessions of Cthulhu
“Eldritch: The Confessions of Cthulhu” is a two-person parody musical based on H. P. Lovecraft’s horror classic “The Call of Cthulhu”. In this funny, heartfelt retelling, misunderstood eldritch horror Cthulhu dons a hilariously obvious disguise, poses as a solicitor, and tries to convince the audience and a suspicious Inspector Legrasse that he is far from the monster the world believes him to be. This small-scale musical falls under the nowadays popular ‘villain-was-actually-a-good-guy’ genre of retellings, such as Broadway’s “Wicked”, Disney’s “Maleficent”, Starkid’s “Twisted” and Fat Rascal Theatre’s “Unfortunate”. All Edinburgh Horror Festival events at the Banshee Labyrinth are over 18 only and ID may be requested. Late admission is at the discretion of the act, and many do not allow late admission so please arrive ten minutes early.
