One Man Poe: The Black Cat and The Raven
31 October - 2 November 2024, 9:00 pm
Spend the perfect Halloween night with two award-winning horror shows from a master of the genre!
Performed and Directed by Stephen Smith
Written by Edgar Allan Poe
Using Edgar Allan Poe’s original text from the 1840s, one actor faithfully brings to life the most terrifying examples of the gothic genre from the pioneering Godfather of Gothic Horror.
Arguably Poe's darkest tale, The Black Cat documents an alcoholic's last confession on the eve of his death. A story not for the faint-hearted. Then, the poem that made Poe famous: The Raven. In the midnight hour, as an elderly man laments the loss of his love, an ominous visitor is heard tapping on his chamber door…
One Man Poe returns to London after a sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2024, where it won the Spookies Award for Best Horror Solo Show.
