Ignite Theatre Presents the Regional Premiere of NEVERMORE
"Nevermore: The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe" is an unforgettable new musical play about one of the world's most famous and fascinating writers. Blending fact and fiction, the show's unique operatic score uses poetic dialogue, eerie sound effects, underscored verse, and haunting songs ranging from Weimar cabaret tunes to rock power ballads, to tell the story of Poe's tormented yet transcendent life.
