One Man Poe

In honor of the macabre, the terrifying and of gothic horror at its most legendary, for ONE NIGHT ONLY, we present Four of Edgar Allen Poe's timeless tales of psychological horror as never before -- on stage and performed live for you by celebrated and award winning UK actor, Stephen Smith -- on the Newcomb Hall Auditorium stage barely 100 yards from The Poe Room at 13 West Range, where Poe slept and first dreamt of dark and eldritch scenes only his mind could envision. The Tell-Tale Heart, The Pit & The Pendulum, The Black Cat, and The Raven will be performed in a one-man display of the insanity and genius of Edgar Allen Poe. This marathon of the macabre has electrified and terrified audiences all over the UK and garnered multiple awards.

Following these chilling vignettes of terror, there will be an audience Q&A not only with Stephen but also with Chris Semtner, Curator of the Poe Museum in Richmond.
