SOUTHWEST SHAKESPEARE LAUNCHES 2026-27 SEASON WITH WHISPERS IN THE DARK: STORIES BY EDGAR ALLAN POE, A HALLOWEEN TREAT
WHISPERS IN THE DARK
Just in time for Halloween, Southwest Shakespeare presents the new theatrical experience, Whispers in the Dark, a new play by Elizabeth Kalita on October 15, 18, 22 and 25. The play is a dramatic retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s life in which Poe’s greatest works serve as the haunting inner world to the equally fraught life of one of America’s most influential writers.
This October, the “veil between the dream and the dream within the dream” grows thin as Southwest Shakespeare explores the iconic stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe and the creature of isolation and despair who wrote them. From the rhythmic heartbeat beneath the floorboards in “The Tell-Tale Heart” to the claustrophobic dread of “The Cask of Amontillado,” this production uses inventive staging, immersive soundscapes, and a versatile ensemble cast to explore the fragile psyche of the Master of the Macabre.
All performances of Whispers in the Dark will be at Mesa Arts Center, One East Main Street in Mesa. For more information about this play or the company visit www.swshakespeare.org. Ticket prices start at $53 and generous discounts are available for students, educators and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at www.mesaartscenter.com.
Ages: High school and older
