"Mörk", Fringe show case

"Mörk" is a running anthology of short plays that explores multiple sub-genres of horror and related themes. The production adopts minimalist theatre, aiming to be lit entirely by practical lights to give the audience an intimate and immersive experience. The two plays performed as part of this segment focus on the effect that fear and uncertainty have on people–and how the frightened mind can be more of a danger than anything lurking in the dark.
“The Butcher,” by Brian Bonafilia, follows two police officers hunting a brutal killer who is stalking the streets of Victorian London. With more attacks happening and fewer clues left, dread and suspicion begin to rise, leading to harrowing questions of how far good men must go to fight evil.
“The Light,” by Federico Giaimo, is set on a dockside in prohibition-era New England as two bootleggers come face-to-face with something that they cannot explain. Trapped between fear of the unknown and the very real dangers of their business, the men must make difficult decisions.
