Mister E of Imagination: Tales of Edgar Allan Poe
Your Madness. Your Beating Heart.
The Tell-Tale Heart. The Fall of the House of Usher. The Cask of Amontillado. The Raven. Edgar Allan Poe’s poems and stories still excite imaginations with images that keep us up long after bedtime: a steely-gray eye gleaming in the darkness, an unceasing call from an unwanted winged visitor, and yearning for love long lost in a castle by the sea. Four actors bring the world of Poe to life and intertwine these stories to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Get your tickets now or you’ll regret it forever more.
