About this project
Bedlam Ensemble will be staging “The Delirium of Edgar Allan Poe”-a night of adaptations from
Edgar Allen Poe’s breath taking pieces (Including The Raven, The Cask of
Amontillado and Berenice ). During the evening, we will present unique dramatizations of his
chilling gems focusing on the most grotesque details of human behavior.
We will offer every detail of this production as
an opportunity to showcase and celebrate Bedlam Ensemble's thriving community
of artists. Everything from the costumes to the set is being selected to mirror
our modern societies influence on Poe’s macabre.
Using a custom designed open space to venture into Poe’s world, Bedlam Ensemble will take the spectator into the mind of Poe ensuring each guest has a unique, personal and breath taking experience, the space will have chambers and lounge areas for our planned extended intermission and post show soiree.
The Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum in Baltimore is currently on the verge of getting its door closed (we will be donating all profits from ticket sales to support the Museum), several medial sources such as the New York Times will writing about our effort to help maintain the Museum doors open.
Within the evening Bedlam Ensemble will
intertwine the performance with live music, dance performance and Poem acts
where the audience will be part of the story and the story will be contained
within the audience.
