About This Reading
Dark, lyrical, and unforgettable, The Raven remains one of the most enduring works in American literature.
First published in 1845, Edgar Allan Poe’s poem is a masterclass in rhythm, sound, and psychological tension — exploring grief, memory, and the thin line between reason and madness.
In this production, Mark Pottinger lends his voice to Poe’s tormented narrator, reimagining the poem as both intimate performance and visual storytelling.
Through careful direction, lighting, and production design, this rendition brings The Raven to life for contemporary audiences while honoring the gothic spirit that has captivated readers for generations.
