An Edinburgh Fringe Preview:Using Edgar Allan Poe’s original text from the 1840s, one actor faithfully brings to life two timeless tales live on stage:
'The Tell-Tale Heart' is an insight into the mind of a madman, convincing us he is sane.
'The Pit and the Pendulum' follows a prisoner of the dreaded Spanish Inquisition, undergoing various mental and physical tortures.
Winner of The Derek Award for ‘Best Overall Show’ at Edinburgh Fringe 2025, One Man Poe is produced by four-time OFFIE Award-winning theatre company Threedumb Theatre, bringing Poe’s work to life as never before.
