In 1845, Edgar Allan Poe lived on Amity Street (now W. 3rd Street) just blocks from the Merchant's House. His publication of "The Raven" had brought him instant fame and invitations to the city's most fashionable literary salons. Join John Kevin Jones (A Christmas Carol at the Merchant's House) in the Merchant’s House Museum’s double parlor, set for a 19th century funeral complete with casket, for a hauntingly memorable performance of Poe’s "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Angel of the Odd" and, of course, "The Raven." It will be a bone-chilling evening of irrational revenge, obsession and premeditated murder, dismemberment and the very, very dark. Presented by Summoners Ensemble Theatre, in association with the Merchant’s House Museum.
