WordStage - a Chamber Music Theater presents Edgar Allan Poe's "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar"

Experience the spine-tingling sensations of the Halloween Season as you attend to a truly terrifying tale from the pen of “The Master of the Macabre”, Edgar Allan Poe ~ “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar” ~ an eerie essay on malevolent medicine, Machiavellian manipulation, deathbed disintegration and fantastic visions of the afterlife.

WordStage's annual offering from the fevered imagination of America's creator of “Tales and Poems of Mystery and Imagination” will be read by Marci Paolucci and Tim Tavcar and horrifically heightened by atmospheric music performed by the Javier Piano Trio – Ariel Clayton, violin, Carlos Javier, cello and HyunSoo Kim, piano - all artists of the Cleveland Classical Revolution – performing the music of Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Shostakovich.
