November 7th 2011 - 9:30pm - the Duplex Cabaret TheatreTake a dark and mysterious journey into the life of Edgar Allan Poe. This imaginative musical uses Poe's poetry and short stories as its base and his shifting obsession with the women in his life as its catalyst. With hauntingly beautiful melodies, Nevermore breathes new life into Poe's work and explores a twisted true-life tale that is as bizarre as his classic stories of the macabre. Nevermore premiered at Signature Theatre in 2006 to critical acclaim and sold out houses. Peter Marks of The Washington Post hailed the piece for its "romantic music, ablaze with feeling." Directed by David Norwood, Musically Human Theatre Productions is presenting Nevermore as a fund-raiser for its upcoming season, readings of new musicals and master classes.
