Tales of Edgar
Allan Poe
Adapted and directed by Bobby Box, in collaboration with Jon Ludwig

Poe’s tortured psyche is resurrected among the ruins of a fallen
house where mysterious spirits bedevil the living and where it is
always a midnight dreary. Gothic designs, haunting music, and shadowy
figures breathe life into Poe’s tapestry of terror, weaving
his classics The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The
Bells, The Black Cat and The Cask of Amontillado
with his lesser known works Berenice, The Oval Portrait,
M.S. Found in a Bottle, and Lenore. More
