Step into scenes from the life, characters, and mysterious death of macabre American writer Edgar Allan Poe in this experimental production by Syracuse, New York’s own Shylock Project—part of the 2024 Fringe Fest lineup.
In Edgar in the Red Room, audiences will be taken through the catacombs of Poe’s final nightmare through music, movement, projections, and a shadow play, where some of his most infamous characters and memorable writing make their appearance. In what show author and director Matt Chiorini calls “the story Poe never wrote,” we discover a dark delight that offers a new and multifaceted twist on a life that has forever left an imprint on our literary horror imagination.
Edgar in the Red Room runs from June 8 to 16, with tickets available here.
