One Man Poe: The Business Man and The Case of M. Valdemar
Advertisement
A special Edinburgh Fringe preview:
Discover two lesser-known stories from Edgar Allan Poe.
First, in Poe’s dark and comedic political satire on American capitalism, the dubious, “self-made” businessman Peter Proffit wants your vote as President of the United States. Then, a gruesome account of an experiment gone wrong, when a renowned mesmerist hypnotises his willing patient at the very moment of his death.
Brand new for 2026, One Man Poe adds this more obscure, yet distinctly unsettling, double bill to its critically acclaimed repertoire of the finest examples of gothic literature.
This performance will be followed by a post-show Q&A with performer/director Stephen Smith.
(This event takes place at York Medical Society, 23 Stonegate, York YO1 8AW. There is no bar at the venue: please feel free to bring your own drinks.)
