Take a dark and mysterious journey into the life of Edgar Allen Poe. This imaginative world premiere musical uses Poe's poetry and short stories as its base and his shifting obsessions with the women in his life as its catalyst. With hauntingly beautiful melodies, Nevermore breathes new life into Poe's work and explores a twisted true-life tale that is as bizarre as his classic stories of the macabre.

Music by Matt Conner
Lyrics adapted from the writings of Edgar Allen Poe
Book by Grace Barnes
Directed by Eric Schaeffer
