One Man Poe: The Black Cat and The Raven is a solo theatre show by Threedumb Theatre, performed at Willow Studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show brings two Edgar Allan Poe classics to life: The Black Cat — Poe's darkest tale, following 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 when an ominous visitor appears. The 55-minute show is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
Two of Poe's most powerful works performed by a single actor — gothic, atmospheric, and genuinely affecting. If you've never experienced Poe live, this is the place to start.
