We went tonight to see a one man play, Nevermore, based on the life and writings of Edgar Allan Poe. The actor and playwright, Tim Evers, is a homeschooled senior in high school (or recent graduate), and he is quite talented. Unfortunately, the publicity for this play was somewhat lacking, and there weren’t very many people there tonight. I hope he will try again and get a bigger audience. The play included renditions of The Cask of Amontillado, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Raven in addition to a portrayal of Poe’s mysterious death on October 7, 1849. Young Mr. Evers has written and performed three other one man plays: Mark Twain’s Anthology, The Gospel According to Mark Twain, and The Demons of Sherlock Holmes. Again, I was quite impressed. The play kept me shivering and quaking, and my nine year old, Brown Bear Daughter, who accompanied me was downright scared. She says she’ll have nightmares tonight–my mistake for bringing her, I suppose.
