45 Minutes, 4M+5W+25 Either, Simple Set


“Once upon a midnight dreary, 

While I pondered, weak and weary, 

Over many a quaint and curious 

Volume of forgotten lore...”


The thumping of a heartbeat. The creek of a door. The howl of a bitter wind. The gong of a clock tower. The clang of alarm bells. The sound of beating wings getting closer and closer…


Specters, ghosts and ghouls come alive in this vivid theatrical adaptation of some of Edgar Allen Poe’s best-known works. Included are The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Masque of the Red Death.


Poe’s words rise from the page like corpses from the grave. Be careful. Do you hear that tap, tap, taping?


Multi-length versions of the script to fit every need.
