Edgar Allan Poe is dead. His reputation ruined and his legacy crumbling. His work is all that remains. As Rufus Griswold prepares to take control of Poe’s estate, echoes of the past begin to emerge. Inside these walls, are the stories simply marks upon a page, or something else entirely?

This original musical uses folk-styled songs to retell some of Poe’s most famous stories, weaving them into a ghostly new tale. Unpredictable, unusual and unique: The House of Edgar is an exciting and unlikely new blend of gothic horror and musical theatre.
