On a dark night, seven strangers arrive at the mansion of a deceased millionaire for the reading of a will, only to learn that their inheritances will be based not on the will, but on the readings of a fortune teller.

As the fortune teller meticulously takes each stranger through the will, the proceedings take an ominous turn as each learns what’s in store.

Set in a beautifully handcrafted miniature world of curiosities, The Fortune Teller is an eerily comic marionette play of fate and fortune, reminiscent of Tim Burton’s world.

Speaking of which, the production features original music by Danny Elfman and Erik Sanko and narration by Gavin Friday. The Fortune Teller was developed through HERE’s Dream Music puppetry program led by Basil Twist.
