A storm, a remote mansion and a family afflicted by a mysterious illness: The Fall of the House of Usher is playing at la Folie Théâtre in Paris until November 8, 2026. Baptiste Deschamps has created a free adaptation and directed this story by Edgar Allan Poe, recommended for audiences aged 12 and up.
William is looking for shelter to break his journey. He enters the home of Roderick and Madeline Usher, the last descendants of their family. But the refuge proves unsettling: events multiply, Roderick’s behavior becomes increasingly disturbed, and the house itself seems hostile. The plot hinges on the family secret the visitor must confront.
The announced cast includes Louis Astier, Jordane Hess, Laurine Mével and Dorothée Malfoy-Noël. Lighting and set design are by Alexandre Levasseur; Laurine Mével is also credited for the music. This stage version runs for 1h10.
The Paris run began on August 27. Public performances take place on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., and on Saturdays and Sundays at 6 p.m., at 6 rue de la Folie-Méricourt in the 11th arrondissement. With Halloween approaching, this adaptation offers a theatrical outing centered on the supernatural and the secrets of the House of Usher.
