Poe haunts Theatre Project in ALONE
The words of Edgar Allan Poe resound again in Baltimore this Halloween, taking the stage at Baltimore Theatre Project October 31st – November 2nd in the form of the solo performance piece Alone: Tales from Edgar Allan Poe. The work is conceived, curated, and performed by Daniel Hall Kuhn, who also serves in the capacity of director, designer, and general factotum–and took a little time away from swapping hats and juggling plates to chat about the show.
Threading together themes of solitude, grief, and loss–not to mention plenty of Poe’s signature sense of the macabre–Kuhn has assembled a full evening’s worth featuring some of Poe’s most haunting and spine-tingling works, both poetry and short stories. These include “Alone,” “The Raven,” “A Dream Within a Dream,” and “Annabel Lee;” and of course no such assemblage would be complete with “The Telltale Heart.” The horror! The horror!
ALONE: Tales from Edgar Allan Poe looks to lure audiences into the uncanny, mystifying, sometimes sorrowful and sneakily sinister literary universe created by this master of the macabre. With first-person accounts of gothic intensity filling an equally gothic stage, Kuhn aims to conjure a full array of characters, casting a mesmerizing spell on audiences and bringing Poe’s tales vividly to life.
