One Man Poe
Presented by Threedumb Theatre
LASTA Young Curators 2025
The perfect theatrical treat for Halloween season: One Man Poe arrives at the LASTA Young Curators Festival on 24th October after a sold-out 21-show run at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it also won the Spookies Award for Best Horror Solo Show.
To commemorate the 175th anniversary year of Edgar Allan Poe’s mysterious death in 1849, Stephen Smith performs four of the American author’s most spine-chilling classics, back-to-back and unabridged: The Tell-Tale Heart; The Pit and the Pendulum; The Black Cat and The Raven. Poe’s archaic language paired with Smith’s award-winning tour-de-force performance offers gothic horror fans and classical literature lovers an atmospheric evening rich with imaginative storytelling, making this truly a marathon of the macabre.
