Witty, Weird and Wonderful

November 15, 2017

Witty, Weird and Wonderful

An instant Buntport classic! “Edgar Allan Poe Is Dead and So Is My Cat” has everything including a Poe-obsessed 40-year-old man who lives in his sister’s basement, a house without a proper door, an awkward cat funeral, an abundance of Poe references, cheesy literary t-shirts, a “suit with anecdotes” and of course extremely hilarious moments that leave you gasping for breath as you laugh so hard you cry.

Performed by an all male cast clad in black boots, minimal clothing and lots of leather, this performance takes a decidedly edgy approach to a classic tale. While the language of the play remains true to the original, the characters are brought into the present as actors incorporate modern day body  Continue Reading
