NEVERMORE

Jeffrey Combs
in 
Nevermore
An evening with Edgar Allan Poe.
...Prose, Poetry and Perversion...

Celebrate the bicentennial of Edgar Allan Poe's birth with the star of Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine / Enterprise.  Set in 1848, Nevermore is loosely based on real events and follows Poe on a cross-country speaking tour fraught with strange occurrences that signal Poe's descent into madness. Read an interview with writer, Dennis Paoli in FANGORIA.

"BONFIRE PERFORMANCE
Combs’ performance is definitive, so full-blown he does not seem to be so much playing Poe as channeling him."
-- LA Times

"Absolutely electrifying"- Dread Central

"GO ...a gorgeous rendition of a tragic clown whose heart
has been cleaved open by loss and regret...
beautifully directed by Stuart Gordon"
- LA Weekly

"...a must-see for anyone interested in
tales of horror and the supernatural."
- metromix

Written by Dennis Paoli
Directed by Stuart Gordon

(the writer/director team behind
cult classics Re-Animator and From Beyond)
