Synopsis
Edgar Allan Poe stands alone in the flickering darkness of his mind, trying desperately to convince himself – and us – that he’s not mad.
The spell he weaves brings us a highly theatrical adaptation of four tales Poe himself considered his best: The Raven , The Fall of the House of Usher , The Pit and the Pendulum and The Tell-Tale Heart .
Enter the world of Poe.
Press Reviews
"Gripping and ghoulish... The atmospheric production seamlessly blends a quartet of Poe‘s immortal tales and poems into a chilling excursion into all-consuming fear."
— Montgomery Times Daily
