About this Event
Visiting from Baltimore, MD (USA), Enrica Jang, Director of the Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum, and London-based actor Stephen Smith lead an evening devoted to the life and work of Edgar Allan Poe.
Together, they explore Poe’s restless life, the many theories surrounding his strange and still-debated death, and the enduring pull of his writing. Stephen Smith’s acclaimed One Man Poe performances, which have captivated audiences worldwide including at the Edinburgh Fringe and The International Edgar Allan Poe Festival, anchor the evening with intimate dramatic readings from Poe’s poetry and prose.
