Carnival of Crows

"Join  Poppy  and  step  into  the  dark,  Victorian underworld of carnival sideshows. In a fiendish fusion  of  puppetry, poetry,  macabre  cabaret and  comedy, we  meet The  Laudanum  Sisters, their twisted boss and head showman  Edward B.  Friday,  and  delve  into  his  menagerie  of misfits,  amusements and  oddities. Secrets are unearthed  as Poppy’s charming, yet disturbing tales unfold,  leading  us on  a  spiraling  journey of horror and suspense, in this remarkable one woman  show  where  there  are  no  happy endings."

A Victorian thriller, based on original concepts by Mary Beth Morossa & Celyn Ebenezer.

Press for Carnival of Crows


“The stage is dark and gothic, the props a menagerie of twisted puppets and figures, and the music a constant thorn on your nerves. Combined, these make for a stunningly atmospheric setting for the show, but even they pale in comparison to the performance before our eyes. It is not simply a one-woman show because there is only one performer, it is a one-woman show because [Mary Beth Morossa] dominates it will skill and grace from start to finish. Her transformation into depressed puppets and dancing crows has to be seen to be believed, and the tale of the demise of Edward B Friday is a true showcase of ‘creepy genius at work’. In short, it was a throat-slitting ride, and as we scraped our jaws along the floor in awe during our exit, we look forward to what this highly promising company has in store for us next year.”
★★★★★ - Dark Chat
“Properly, sensationally good from start to finish... [Mary Beth Morossa] is utterly sublime... She embodies every facet of Poppy stunningly, especially her mix of worldliness and profound innocence; and she manages to create whole characters using nothing but the most basic of objects, like Edward, who spends most of the production as a hat and a voice. She even makes a tap dance threatening. No, I’m not kidding. It’s awesome!”
★★★★ - Fringe Guru
