In Titan Arum, written by Blue Box Co-Founder and Chief of Operations, Chella Anderson, audiences are thrust into the unsettling world of the dysfunctional Devland family.

Josephine, the matriarch, once a celebrated horror novelist, now clings desperately to the remnants of her fading fame. Her daughters, Katla and Dora, bear the weight of their mother's legacy, each grappling with their own demons amidst the shadows of their past.

Katla, a struggling artist consumed by her pursuit of creative perfection, descends into madness as she commits unspeakable acts in the name of her art. Her monstrous deeds cast a chilling shadow over the town, leaving two women missing and a community shrouded in fear.

Dora, a widowed florist, navigates the suffocating embrace of grief while wrestling with the fractured bond between her and her enigmatic sister. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Dora finds herself entangled in a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal.

With Josephine's insatiable thirst for literary acclaim driving her to exploit the tragedy unfolding around her, the Devland family hurtles towards a horrifying climax where the lines between reality and nightmare blur beyond recognition.

Will they unearth the truth buried beneath the petals of the Titan Arum, or will they succumb to the darkness that lurks within?

Experience the terror firsthand as Titan Arum takes root on stage, promising a spine-tingling journey into the heart of fear and the depths of the human psyche.

Reviews for Titan Arum

“Titan Arum is full of laughs and suspense. And, while its "examination of some of the human condition" concentrates on some of the darkest corners, it is quite enlightening and instructive.”

“We are fortunate to have a company in our area that offers world premieres of locally created full-length plays.”

- Kurt Benrud, Triangle Review
