Tales of Edgar Allan Poe

adapted by Bobby Box, in collaboration with Jon Ludwig
2006-07 New Directions Series
Recommended for ages 12 and up.

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.” These stories are removed from the shelf and chillingly realized on stage as only puppets can do.

Join us for Footnotes, a "talk-back" session between the audience and artists, following the friday, January 19, 8pm performance.
