Threedumb Theatre • Professional company
About the show
One Man Poe: The Black Cat and The Raven is a fifty-five-minute solo drama by Threedumb Theatre, performed at Willow Studio. The show presents two macabre Edgar Allan Poe classics: The Black Cat, arguably Poe's darkest tale, which documents an alcoholic's last confession on the eve of his death, and The Raven, the poem that made Poe famous, in which an elderly man laments the loss of his love while an ominous visitor taps on his chamber door. The show commemorates the anniversary year of Poe's death.
Why see this show?
Two of Poe's darkest, most atmospheric works brought to life in a single fifty-five-minute solo performance. A confession, a chamber, a raven — performed intimately at Willow Studio, this is exactly the kind of show that lingers long after you leave.
