NIGHTFALL WITH EDGAR ALLAN POE
Xenia Area Community Theatre
Oct. 20-29
[Xenia]

Directed by Dee Berdine

Cast: Dustin Evans as Edgar Allan Poe in “The Raven” and “The Tell Tale Heart,” Ryan Kimmet as Edgar in “The Raven” and “Fall of the House of Usher,” Zachary White as Roderick Usher in “The Raven” and “Fall of the House of Usher,” Misty White as Madeline in “The Raven” and “Fall of the House of Usher,” Onyx Davis as Raven in “The Raven”, Judge in “The Pit and the Pendulum”, & Police Officer in “The Tell Tale Heart,” Jonah Reed as Edgar Allan Poe in “The Pit and the Pendulum,” Kirk Bass as Sante in “The Pit and the Pendulum,” Dean Shipley as Old Man in “The Tell Tale Heart,” and Edith Waugh as Judge in “The Pit and  the Pendulum” and Police Officer in “The Tell Tale Heart”

Edgar Allan Poe stands alone in the flickering darkness of his mind, trying desperately to convince himself — and us — that he’s not mad. The spell he weaves brings us a highly theatrical adaptation of four tales Poe himself considered his best: “The Raven,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Pit and the Pendulum,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Enter the world of Poe and check your heartbeat at the door.
