The Cask of Amontillado

By: Edgar Allan Poe, Ben Sturgess - editor, Wireless Theatre Company - producer

Narrated by: Adam Cole, Andrew Ward

"The Cask of Amontillado" is Edgar Allan Poe's short but enigmatic masterpiece. Set in an unnamed Italian city, we hear the story of how Montresor lures Fortunato through the catacombs into the Montresor family vault and there chains him up and bricks him in for eternity. Why he does it we will never know, but he does so with a casual savagery that is truly chilling.

Spooky and enjoyable

That was a lot of fun. Great production. The ending is perfect. I like the coughing and the scrapping of gravel and the sound of the trowl.

Absolutely crazy,

It sounded like the actual raving of a mad man it is INANE
Ya know

Alan Parsons' "Rendition" brought me here, and I'm not disdsapointed!

There really isn't much to say, it's Edgar Allan Poe's great writing coupled with a compelling performance; it's fun!
(Although I might be totally biased since "The Cask of Amontillado" by Alan Parsons Project is one of my favorite songs by him).

bad audio

wasn't a fan hard to hear at some points. obviously the story remained fine to the point.

ehh

as other reviews say, very hard to hear montresor, very easy to hear fortunato's coughing fits. fortunato is appropriately drunk, but difficult to understand.
