Immerse yourselves in two timeless tales from the Godfather of Gothic Horror, Edgar Allan Poe.

Arguably Poe’s darkest tale, The Black Cat depicts an alcoholic’s last confession on the eve of his death. Then, the poem that made Poe famous: The Raven. In the midnight hour, an elderly man laments the loss of his love, when an ominous visitor is heard tapping on his chamber door… 

One Man Poe returns to Shakespeare North Playhouse for their Heading North Festival with this thrilling double-bill, after presenting The Tell-Tale Heart and The Pit and the Pendulum in July last year. 

The show then went on to sell-out it’s run at Edinburgh Fringe and won The Derek Award for BEST OVERALL SHOW at Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
