The death of Edgar Allan Poe remains one of literature’s great unsolved mysteries.  Through music, movement, projections, and shadow play, this theatrical experiment follows Poe through a haunting and hallucinogenic re-imagining of his final nightmare.  This exploration of the life, death and legacy of Poe combine themes and characters from several of his most infamous stories and poems into “the story Poe never wrote.”

After sold-out houses, awards and rave reviews at theatre festivals in the USA and Canada, “Edgar” comes to London for a two-week run at the Hope Theatre.  Toronto Intermission Magazine: “magical…a fever dream,” Toronto Star: “a frenzied adventure into the writer’s mind.”  Forget the Box, Montreal: “flippin’ impressive……a testament to what’s possible on the small stage with dedication, dreams, and a dash of madness.” Forget the Box reviews Winner- “Best English Production”, Montreal Fringe Festival. Finalist “Best Adaptation of Poe’s Works” Poe Fest International.
