Poe’s tapestry of terror is chillingly realized for the puppet stage
Poe’s tortured psyche is resurrected among the ruins of a fallen house
where mysterious spirits bedevil the dead and it’s always a midnight
dreary. Gothic designs, haunting music, and shadowy figures breathe life
into Poe’s tapestry of terror, weaving his classics The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Bells, The Black Cat, and The Cask of Amontillado with his lesser known works, Berenice, The Oval Portrait, M.S. Found in a Bottle, and Lenore.
Tales of Edgar Allan Poe is adapted by Bobby Box in collaboration with Jon Ludwig and directed by Michael Haverty. Puppeteers
Luis Hernandez, Reay Kaplan, and Rudy Roushdi bring Poe’s infamous
characters to life using a unique “table-top” puppetry style, in which
live actors share the stage with the puppets on a multi-planed set. Music
is performed live by Atlanta-based composer and percussionist,
Klimchak, who uses unconventional and original instruments such as wine
bottles, saws, and didgeridoos, to create a ghostly and tension-filled
atmosphere.
The show is recommended for ages 12 through adult
and offers matinees and evening performances. Before the show, patrons
may explore the Museum exhibits featuring beloved Jim Henson puppets
such as Kermit the Frog, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird. During evening
performances, a beer/wine cash bar is open before the show and during
intermission.
