To commemorate the 175th anniversary year of his death, immerse yourselves in two macabre Edgar Allan Poe classics.
Arguably Poe's darkest tale, The Black Cat documents an alcoholic's last confession on the eve of his death. A story not for the faint-hearted. Then, the poem that made Poe famous: The Raven. In the midnight hour, as an elderly man laments the loss of his love, an ominous visitor is heard tapping on his chamber door.
One Man Poe by award-winning storyteller Stephen Smith brings Poe's words to life as never before.
Venue: Greenside @ Riddles Court, Willow Studio
Start time: 18:35 (55 mins)
Suitable for 12+
