POE, TIMES TWO
A double-bill of short, one-man plays adapted from two classic stories of mystery and horror "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Black Cat",
by Edgar Allan Poe.
The Cask of Amontillado: a Venetian nobleman narrates a chilling tale of revenge involving his friend, Fortunato, against whom he has carried a grudge for an offense that is never explained -- an altogether sinister twist on the social mores of wine-tasting!
The Black Cat: a condemned man speaks from his prison cell on the night before he is to be executed for the brutal murder of his wife -- Poe’s masterful study of domestic violence, guilt and one man’s descent into madness … a journey that illustrates the ability of the human mind to observe and comment on its own destruction, without being able to stop it.
So join us in July for twin tales of mystery, murder…and mortar. One actor. Two classic horror stories in under an hour -- straight from the Source!
