SYNOPSIS:

In the flicker of candlelight and the hush of midnight, a lone voice begins to speak.

From grief to obsession… from devotion to madness… from guilt to confession…
Poe Nevermore invites audiences into the fractured mind of Edgar Allan Poe’s most unforgettable narrators.

This immersive theatrical experience weaves together The Raven, Annabel Lee, The Oval Portrait, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Black Cat into a single, haunting journey. As poetry dissolves into paranoia and love curdles into violence, a recurring presence - the Raven - watches from the shadows, whispering a single word that echoes through every story:

Nevermore.

Blurring the line between storyteller and suspect, memory and delusion, this candlelit production explores the terrifying intimacy of guilt and the fragile boundary between sanity and obsession.

You think him mad?

Hearken.
