About this Event
Featuring several of Poe's darkest tales of M**der, madness, love and revenge, along with some of his greatest poems and songs, Poe Show will be performed with a live soundtrack, created and performed by the renowned Delmaine String Quartet.
Poe Show was first staged in Bewley’s Café Theatre in 2009 to mark the 200th Anniversary of Poe’s birth and was a big critical and popular success. It has since continued to evolve and develop and has toured widely to many interesting venues around the country, including country houses, music festivals, churches, barns and graveyards.
So join us for an unforgettable night of horror with The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Premature Burial and other classics, in a deliciously dark descent into the maelstrom of one of literature’s most frenzied imaginations.
