Storytelling, Theater, Theatre - Days of the Dead 2025
One Man Poe
To commemorate the
175th anniversary year of Edgar Allan Poe’s
mysterious death in 1849, Stephen Smith performs four of the American
author’s most spine-chilling classics, back-to-back and unabridged: The
Tell-Tale Heart; The Pit and the Pendulum; and The Raven.
Poe’s
archaic language paired with Smith’s award-winning tour-de-force
performance offers gothic horror fans and classical literature lovers an
atmospheric evening rich with imaginative storytelling, making this
truly a marathon of the macabre.
The perfect
theatrical treat for Halloween season: One
Man Poe arrives at after a sold-out 21-show run at
the 2024 and 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it also won the
2024 Spookies Award for "Best Horror Solo Show", and the 2025 Derek
Award for "Best Overall Show of Edinburgh Fringe".
