The Poe Play

The Rogue Artists, the latest and greatest youngsters to join the Orange County theater scene, are bringing their bone-chilling adaptation of the works of Edgar Allen Poe, The Poe Play, exclusively to the
Insurgo Theater Movement this October.

The play, which features adaptations of such Poe standards as “The Raven,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and “The Cask of Amontillado,” also includes an inventive staging of the oft-overlooked “Berenice,” about a man’s ill-gotten
obsession with a dead woman’s teeth. “Berenice” is widely considered to be Poe’s first piece of horror fiction, written when he was just 26 years old
and fresh from a tour of duty in the U.S. Army.
