Did you know that Edgar Allan Poe could be funny? Playwright Jocelyn Beard was unaware of this icon's lighter side until researching his complete works for a monologue anthology. Poe was sent to Edinburgh to avoid having to fight in the American Civil War. While there, he earned money by writing for Blackwood's Magazine, the progenitor of the modern tabloid. Known for its delightfully gruesome tales, Blackwood's was a staple in the 19th century British Empire.
Blackwood is an adaptation of three extremely funny short stories that Poe wrote about his time at Blackwood's. A perfect Halloween treat for the whole family.
