Stumble Upon a Story & W.W. Jacobs
The Monkey’s Paw
Winnipeg Fringe Fest 2025
You will be transported into the eerie tale of a wish gone wrong through masks, a stark set and an evocative soundscape that includes narration of the original story.
Stumble Upon A Story presents The Monkey’s Paw – based on the horror story written by W.W. Jacobs in 1902 – an intimate theatrical and literary experience.
The Monkey’s Paw is a chilling tale of greed, fate, and the price of tampering with the unknown. When a cursed relic promises three wishes, one family’s hopes twist into a nightmarish spiral of terror. What begins as a harmless curiosity unleashes horrors they can’t undo. In this gripping stage adaptation, discover how desire turns deadly — and ask yourself: what would you wish for?
Stumble Upon A Story creates collaborative storytelling
experiences across Canada.
