House of Rot: Grey Gardens Cabaret
Presented by Green Door Theatre Company in association with Hayes Theatre Co
Beauty fades. Madness endures.
Headlining the 2026 Winter Cabaret Season is the premiere of HOUSE OF ROT: GREY GARDENS, featuring the extraordinary talents of Paul Capsis (Cabaret) and Adam Noviello (Hedwig and the Angry Inch).
Loosely, dangerously inspired by the documentary Grey Gardens, the show delves into the world of Big and Little Edie—two eccentric recluses living in a house slowly succumbing to decay.
Under the vision of director Dino Dimitriadis and musical director Victoria Falconer, HOUSE OF ROT is a cabaret ritual: part unholy communion, part elegy in heels.
Through a mix of original compositions and inventive reimaginings of familiar songs—both contemporary and classic—Capsis and Noviello explore legacy, survival, and the hidden spaces we inherit when no one is watching. A story of living within collapse, and of grief and fury gnawing at the floorboards if left unchecked.
