Nightfall with Edgar Allan Poe
October 23 - November 1
Play, Drama, 120 Minutes
This production is rated PG for suspenseful moments and dark themes
By Eric Coble
Edgar Allan Poe stands alone in the flickering darkness of his mind, trying desperately to convince himself — and us — that he’s not mad. The spell he weaves brings us a highly theatrical adaptation of four tales Poe himself considered his best: “The Raven,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Pit and the Pendulum,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Enter the world of Poe and check your heartbeat at the door.
Just in time for the Halloween season, playwright Eric Coble and West Valley Arts will take audiences on the haunting journey through the twists and turns of Poe's mind in an eerie production that promises to tingle your spine and quicken a few hearts.
Show Advisory:
This production contains the use of fog, haze, open flame, strobing and dramatic lighting effects, stage blood, and loud sound effects.
Viewer discretion is advised. If rated as a film, Nightfall would be considered PG-13 for intense thematic elements, imagery, and moments of violence.

"Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence – whether much that is glorious – whether all that is profound – does not spring from disease of thought – from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect."
Poet Edgar Allan Poe
