Shuddersome: Tales of Poe at Theatre School @ North Coast Rep

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents five eerie and macabre Edgar Allen Poe short stories and poems as, Shuddersome: Tales of Poe for its next student production! The thumping of a heartbeat. The creak of a door. The howl of a bitter wind. The gong of a clock tower. The clang of alarm bells.

Included are The Tell-Tale Heart, The Bells, The Oval Portrait, The Raven, and The Masque of the Red Death. Poe’s words rise from the page like corpses from the grave. Be careful.
