He’s baaaack! Local actor, Kirk Simpson, reprises his role as the Master of the Macabre, Edgar Allen Poe, for six shows at Clay Hill Farm Restaurant beginning Friday, October 25, at 6 p.m.
In POE: Tales of Fear & Suspense – a theatrical dining experience. Captivating audiences with his spooky-good dramatic readings, Mr. Edgar Allan Poe (Simpson) hosts an intensely up-close and personal, theatrical evening of delectable dining and sinister storytelling that is not to be missed.
While enjoying an a la carte dinner, fans of Poe’s ghoulish “grimoire” will revel in Simpson’s theatrical brilliance while he brings to ominous life such favorites as The Tell–Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Raven, weaving his way around the tables of an eerily claustrophobic setting in Clay Hill Farm’s frighteningly-festooned Veranda Room. This is Simpson’s seventh successful year performing POE: Tales of Fear & Suspense at Clay Hill Farm Restaurant, garnering rave reviews from sold-out shows each year. Simpson’s mesmerizing theatricality as the dark and enigmatic Poe, coupled with a simple yet disturbing setting, will have lovers of both theater and the Master of the Macabre, on the edge of their seats.
Tickets are $20 per person, plus the cost of dinner. Performances are evenings at 6 p.m. on Friday, October 25, HALLOWEEN-Thursday, October 31st, Friday, November 1, and Friday, November 8th. Matinée performances are at 1 p.m. on Sunday, October 27th & November 10th.
Costumes are welcome and encouraged on Halloween. Seating is limited. Reservations are required.
