Description: (Play) A 45-minute performance on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
A hilarious and haunting two-actor play where enthusiasm meets ignorance—until Poe’s dark genius takes hold. A passionate literature buff, and a clueless performer turned obsessed fan, dive into the life, language, and legacy of Edgar Allan Poe. Through comedic banter, dramatic readings, and interactive audience moments, students explore figurative language, mood, and poetic structure using Poe’s iconic works like Annabel Lee, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Raven. This script transforms literary analysis into a theatrically immersive experience.
Reinforce Reading and Language Kentucky Academic Standards through engaging, contextualized performance and literature recitation—highlighting figurative language, word choice, and text structure.
