Celebrated orator Professor Lammergeier takes to the stage on the most haunted nights of the year to bring you the works of Edgar Allan Poe as you have never heard them before. Come enjoy a night of laughs and scares as the Professor’s recitations and ruminations turn the intimate stage of Stag & Lion Theatre into a world where portents lurk in every shadow and love lives beyond the grave.

 

Join veteran of the classical stage Sam Hardy as he takes on the persona of the lugubrious and lascivious Professor Lammergeier. In the eerie glow of Stag & Lion Theatre's amber footlights, the Professor will guide his audience through the works of America's own master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe. The program features familiar favorites like “The Raven” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” alongside lesser-known gems, all brought vividly to life by Hardy's powerhouse voice and interwoven by the Professor's eccentric theories on Poe’s hidden secret to life after death.

 

The program runs approximately 80 minutes. Please note, this performance deals with topics of death, blood, alcohol use, and sexuality, and is not suitable for children.
