One Man Poe

Thurs 29 Oct View Venues, Dates & Times

Featuring The Business Man & The Case of M. Valdemar

Discover two lesser-known stories from Edgar Allan Poe.

First, in Poe’s dark and comedic political satire on American capitalism - The Business Man - dubious, “self-made” businessman Peter Proffit wants your vote as President of the United States.

Then a gruesome account of an experiment goes wrong, when a renowned mesmerist hypnotises his willing patient at the very moment of his death in The Case of M. Valdemar.

Brand new for 2026, One Man Poe adds this more obscure yet distinctly unsettling double bill to its critically acclaimed repertoire of the finest examples of gothic literature.
