The Poe Play - Rogue Artists Ensemble

"To muse for long unwearied hours, to become absorbed, for the better part of a summer's day, in a quaint shadow falling aslant upon the tapestry or upon the floor; to lose myself, for an entire night watching the steady flame of a lamp, to repeat, monotonously, some common word...Teeth, White, Teeth...Enamel...until the sound, by frequent repetition ceases to convey any particular meaning whatsoever. Teeth, teeth. White. My monomania has taken control of my entire existence."

--- Egaeus, The POE Play

"They say you only really die if the person feels it's their time. I know this to be true. Friend, while I was in town today a ghostly sight saw I. My long, lost, love. There in front of me, plain as the day."

--- The Old Man, The POE Play

The POE Play transports audiences into the mind of the master of macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, and is based on five of Poe's darkest tales. This original Rogue production is brought to life in Hyper-theater using puppets, masks, stunning visual effects, and dance set in a dream world of video and sound. The POE Play combines elements from "The Raven," "The Tell-Tale Heart," The Black Cat," "The Cask of Amontillado," and the often overlooked "Berenice" to create a new story about one man's journey into madness.
