About The Madness of Poe: 

In an isolated asylum, a group of inmates recounts to each other their strange stories of madness as their keeper displays them to a group of outside observers.  Each tries to prove that he is most mad and a twisted game of one-upmanship begins.  This Halloween the weird tales of Edgar Allan Poe come alive in a new and exciting piece - "The Madness of Poe." Using only text written by the Master of the Macabre, the Mechanical Theater spins a dark tale of genius and insanity that will be loved by Poe-fans and newcomers alike.  Directed by Eric Singel and starring Neena Boyle, Doug Greene, and Geremy Webne-Behrman.

 

Performances will be held at Historic Strawberry Mansion October 23rd, 24th, 30th and 31st at 7:00pm.
