At Westminster Hall Jan. 23-24th
In our previous news post here, director Stuart Gordon had hinted at the prospect of taking his one man Edgar Allan Poe show Nevermore starring Jeffrey Combs on the road. While nothing was official, The Goodman Theatre in Chicago, IL had invited the show for engagements there in October of 2010.
The LA Times Blog reports that now Nevermore will have its East Coast premiere in Baltimore at the Westminster Hall, which also happens to be the site of Poe’s grave. Performances of the play, which was written by Re-Animator‘s Dennis Paoli, will take place Jan. 23 and 24, and will be co-presented by the Edgar Allan Poe House.
Hopefully this means more venues and dates will shortly follow.
You can check out our interview with Stuart Gordon about Nevermore: An Evening With Edgar Allan Poe right here. Watch video clips of Jeffrey Combs talking about playing Poe at our Re-Animator screening report here. More on the show when we hear it.
