NEVERMORE—The Fantastic Terrors of Edgar Allan Poe is an outdoor theatrical experience where the short stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe come alive as the sun goes down on a mid-19th century New England village. Six tales of revenge, obsession and deception will be brought to life by six characters from Poe’s work at six different locations throughout the village from a grist mill to a farm to a meeting house, each appearing when guests least expect it.
