Stunning performance, drinks and atmosphere. The ultimate Gothic delight for dark literature fans, new and old. Experience Poe on the stage told through the meter of vibrant young actors against an elegant set, brilliant moody lighting and bone deep melodies that will haunt you long after the stage goes dark. Do not miss this!
