With Halloween just around the corner, it is the perfect time to enter the macabre world of Edgar Allan Poe. For the fifth year Write Out Loud will host PoeFest, a celebration of the author and all things strange and other worldly. cinebeth has more ⤵️
PoeFest bears the name of 19th century writer Edgar Allan Poe because it celebrates the macabre themes that he made perversely enthralling. Poe himself commented on his legacy when I asked him why his works remain so popular.
"My dad read 'The Raven' to me when I was nine," Wilson said."I was just fascinated by the language. I didn't understand any of it, so I wanted to learn more, and I went in and learned what some of the words meant. Familiarized myself with a lot of his other works, familiarized myself with his short stories as well as more of his poems.
"Of course when I'm there as Poe, it'll be haunted because Poe's there," Wilson said."Poe's ghost invades, infiltrates. But it's just a gorgeous Victorian style mansion. It's absolutely beautiful. And the rooms that I perform in have this lovely ambience of just a warm morbidity to them, if you will."Monique Gaffney as Mephistopheles at the Villa Montezuma Museum for this year's PoeFest.

There will be two of Shakespeare's the Weird Sisters seeking their third coven member and asking the audience to help brew their potion. Plus you can meet Mary Shelley, the author of"Frankenstein."Megan Carmitchel plays Shelley.
