DRAMA: Mystery of Poe's Life Revealed through "Nevermore!"

See it Nov. 16-19 at Riverside High School

In September of 1847, Edgar Allan Poe is reported to have boarded a steamer in Baltimore Harbor for an overnight voyage to New York City. He never arrived. Five days later, Poe was found delirious on a Baltimore street and died soon thereafter. What transpired over those missing days has remained forever a mystery...until now. This imaginative play, based on the macabre stories and poems of one of America's most celebrated writers, ponders what might have happened to him on the dreary nightmare voyage at the end of his life. Filled with masterful illusions, disappearances and dancing, Nevermore! keeps audiences on the edge of their seats from the first curtain to the final denouement.
