Mister E of Imagination: Tales of Edgar Allan Poe 

    Your Madness. Your Beating Heart. 

The Tell-Tale HeartThe Fall of the House of UsherThe Cask of AmontilladoThe 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.
