This calls into question: "Does the artist create the art, or does the art create the artist?"Įdgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) has been given the false caricature of a drunk and raging madman, as written in his obituary by his rival Rufus Griswold. This musical uses Poe's poetry to merge together his life and his work, as he and Sarah navigate the painful memories hidden behind such classic tales as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and most importantly, The Fall of the House of Usher. The poet must come to terms with his past before he can face his inevitable future: death. As she tries to comfort him, Poe struggles to discern his memories from his own tales of the grotesque.
As Edgar Allan Poe grieves the inevitable death of his wife, he calls upon his past lover, the raven-esque Sarah Shelton, to help him cope with the grief.
