The William Fleming Colonel’s Theatre Company will be presenting Nevermore, Edgar Allen Poe, the Final Mystery, by Julian Wiles.
The story: On September 27, 1849, Edgar Allen Poe is reported to have boarded a steamer in Baltimore Harbor for an overnight voyage to New York City. He never arrived! Five days later Poe was found delirious on a Baltimore street and died soon thereafter. What transpired over those five missing days has remained forever a mystery—until now!
This imaginary play, utilizing the macabre stories and poems of one of America’s most celebrated writers, ponders what might have happened to him on the dreary nightmare voyage at the end of his life. Filled with masterful illusions and disappearances, Nevermore keeps audiences on the edge of their seats from first curtain to the final denouement!
The production will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Oct. 22-24 in Fleming’s Dickerson Auditorium and is a Halloween Happening. Also featured will be the William Fleming, Patrick Henry and City Modern Ensemble.
Tickets are $5 student; $10 adults. Come make this a MUST SEE in your Halloween Happenings!
