POE: DREAMS OF MADNESSBy Allyssa Hynes | Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc.Six performances. Two weekends. One descent into madness.What happens when the master of the macabre becomes trapped inside his own imagination?It is nearly midnight, and Edgar Allan Poe cannot sleep. Or perhaps he has been sleeping all along.Haunted by dreams that follow him into waking life, Poe finds himself wandering through the darkest corners of his own literary creations, guided by none other than the Raven himself.The dead refuse to remain buried. A guilty heart beats beneath the floorboards. A pendulum swings ever closer. And the line between reality and nightmare grows dangerously thin.In this award-winning theatrical adaptation, the haunting beauty and psychological terror of Poe&#39;s classic literature come alive through a collection of his most celebrated Gothic works, including The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Masque of the Red Death, The Raven, and more.Both familiar and unexpectedly original, Poe: Dreams of Madness weaves obsession, guilt, grief, madness, and mortality into an evening of suspense, mystery, and deliciously unsettling theatre.Will Poe ever escape the nightmares he created?And once you&#39;ve entered his world, will you?Performance Dates &amp; TimesOpening Weekend<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Saturday, November 14 | 7:30 PM</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Sunday, November 15 | 2:00 PM Matinee &amp; 6:00 PM</li></ul>Second Weekend<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Friday, November 20 | 7:30 PM</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Saturday, November 21 | 7:30 PM</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Sunday, November 22 | 4:00 PM</li></ul>Doors open 30 minutes before each performance.Atascosa County Troupe (ACT Theatre) 1435 W Oaklawn Rd, Pleasanton, TX 78064Join us for an evening where classic literature meets live theatre, and the shadows of Edgar Allan Poe&#39;s imagination refuse to stay on the page.Some stories never truly die.
