The Tell-Tale Heart & Masque of the Red Death
  Edgar Allan Poe Signature for Play   Play Performance of Edgar Allan Poe writings

The play begins as Poe is dying, as he struggles, he recounts his melancholy life with drama, fantasy and humor.  Poe felt that the only true, worthy subject of literature was the melancholy examination of the death of a beautiful woman—depicted here in the gruesome death of his young wife and the poem which resulted, "Annabel Lee."

Although everyone today agrees that Poe is one of America's greatest authors, he found little recognition in his lifetime until the publishing of "The Raven" not long before he died.

"It was incredible to see the faces of our students who made us feel very connected to the play.  They were upbeat and truly alive!"
Jeannette Zurembka, California School for the Deaf, Riverside.
