Music by MATT CONNER Lyrics adapted from the writings of EDGAR ALLAN POE Book by GRACE BARNES Originally produced by Signature Theatre, Arlington Virginia; Eric Schaeffer, Artistic Director; Sam Sweet, Managing Director
Take a dark and mysterious journey into the life of Edgar Allan Poe. This imaginative musical uses Poe's poetry and short stories as its base and his shifting obsession with the women in his life as its catalyst. With hauntingly beautiful melodies, Nevermore breathes new life into Poe's work and explores a twisted true-life tale that is as bizarre as his classic stories of the macabre.
Nevermore
premiered at Signature Theater in 2006 to critical acclaim and sold out houses.
Peter Marks of The Washington Post
hailed the piece for its “romantic music, ablaze with feeling.”
