Few writers have matched Edgar Allan Poes dark imagination and these adaptations bring the thrills and chills of Poe to life on stage and are all sterling examples of why Mr. Poe's gift keeps on giving into the twenty-first century. A Very Dark Evening With Mr. Edgar Allan Poe contains five tales adapted from Edgar Allan Poe for stage production: Never Bet the Devil Your Head, The Cask of Amontillado, Ligeia, The Masque of the Red Death and The Tell-Tale Heart.
