One-man Poe Play 'Nevermore' Opening

Jeffrey Combs and Stuart Gordon, along with writer Dennis Paoli, have turned Edgar Allen Poe's life into a stage play. According to Gordon:

...people are going to be uncomfortable with it. When Nevermore starts off, audiences might be expecting a show like Hal Holbrook doing Mark Twain Tonight. And then that expectation goes haywire.

Nevermore: An Evening With Edgar Allen Poe runs from July 10 to August 2 at the Steve Allen Theater.
