i am edgar allan poe...

 

There's one thing for sure: one of those five people were lying.

Surely they were not all bequeathed with that moniker, especially as some were women.

Then, again, I've seen "Inside Out", so I understand about personification of one's strong traits.

In the case of the writer, 'despair', 'loneliness', 'sorrow', 'madness', and more, would be at least as familiar to him as his name.

Perfect!

I'm so glad I chose to see "Poe" tonight.

Halloween, or All Hallow's Eve, cried out to be special for me, and this play by the Armstrong Masquers, with Jayme Tinti as its director, was the only place for me to be.

She told me as much, too.

During her introduction of the play, she spotted me in the front row at Jenkins Hall, taking that opportunity to tell all there that "Faustina Smith is the best audience ever" and that she'd known me since first coming to Savannah in 2012.

Isn't she fabulous?

Such a treat for me!!!

And before that, Pam Sears had come over to give me a hug for coming!

She said I'm the only retired Armstrong professor that supports the theatre.

Such a treat for me!!!

This one-act play contained more treats: a favorite Poe tale, plus one I didn't know.

 

"The Tell-Tale Heart" was the final scene and was appropriately dark and twisted for this evening's fare - very nice!

How very funny that I'd seen it just a few days ago on "Toon In With Me"!

Bill and Toony were having a show about Poe as part of their "Boo Bash".

Toony misunderstood and was wearing a Winnie the Pooh shirt  - LOL!

They made a short called "The Tell-Tale Action Figure" which was funny!

 

But it was this play that introduced me to "William Wilson", a truly dark tale, written by this master of the macabre when he was 30 years old.

Such a horrible, deceitful, character Wilson had been, right up until he met someone else who bore that same name... bwah ha ha!!!

Kudos to Heather, Cameron, Morrow, Stephen, and Noemi for a brilliant treat!

 

Now, I'm back to my warm house, snuggled in for the cold to come.

With the forecast calling for pain - I mean, temperatures in the low 40's - before the sun rises tomorrow, I've already blocked off the sun room.

 

Yes, the curtain is up, and I'll not be seeing those Butter Yellow walls for the next few months, not until spring.

Rather appropriate to have the ghost of summer in the house!

Bwah ha ha!!!
