POE-SESSED: The Oval Portrait and The Masque of the Red Death
Presented by New Edgecliff Theatre
Oct. 29
Columbia Tusculum
Edgar Allen Poe has long held the gruesome imaginations of many with his takes on horror and death. What better time of year to enjoy them than Halloween. This year, New Edgecliff’s Playwright-in-Residence Catie O’Keefe, (Darker, Extraction, and The Space Between My Head and My Body) adapts two of Poe’s haunting tales for the ever-loved Sweet Suspense Radio Drama: The Oval Portrait and The Masque of the Red Death. Both tales, dark, gritty and wonderfully gruesome, show us true obsession in its many forms. New Edgecliff Theatre brings these stories to life, complete with live sound effects and the atmosphere of an old-time radio theatre. The audience will also enjoy a sampling of delectable desserts from area restaurants, making this suspenseful evening truly “sweet!”
