Ophelia's Jump Theatre to Present NEVERMORE: THE IMAGINARY LIFE AND MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF EDGAR ALLEN POE

Just in time for the Halloween season, Ophelia's Jump Productions (OJP) will present Nevermore - The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allen Poe with music and lyrics by Jonathan Christenson, a unique and wildly theatrical musical combining haunting music and poetic storytelling to chronicle the fascinating life of iconic American writer Edgar Allen Poe. The production will be performed at the Ophelia's Jump Studio Theater, located at 2009 Porterfield Way, Suite H, in Upland, from October 7 through 29, 2023.

Directed by OJP Founding Artistic Director and recent award recipient of the LA Drama Critics Circle (LADCC) Gordon Davidson Award Beatrice Casagrán, this unique theatrical musical experience is staged in an evocative Grand Guignol/Tim Burtonesque style with imaginative lighting, dynamic staging, and poetic rhythms – the magical world of Edgar Allan Poe is brought to life in an utterly captivating night of theatre that blends fact and fiction, nightmare and waking life. 

A literary rock star of his day, Poe struggles with tragedy and addiction, poverty and loss, yet produces some of the world's most original, visionary and enduring literature before dying in unexplained circumstances at the age of 40. At once gorgeous and grotesque, Nevermore explores the events that shape Poe's character and career, blurring the line between fact and fiction--after all, as Poe himself writes, "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
