The Twisted Tales of Poe, A Staged Radio Drama
“Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois”
by Philip Grecian based on the poems and stories of Edgar Allan Poe
AACT presents stories from Edgar Allan Poe told in the form of a staged radio drama, complete with live sound effects and music, created live, on-stage. by Foley artists, just like the hey-day of American Radio programs of the 1940s. The prisoners of Leverett Street Jail; Death Warrant Division, await their fates as three of the doomed souls tell their stories. We then enter the mind of the fourth inmate!
Witness “The Tell–Tale Heart,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” The Black Cat,” and of course, “The Raven,” all come to life before your very eyes and ears!
