He’s baaaack!<\/em> Local actor, Kirk Simpson, reprises his role as the Master of the Macabre, Edgar Allen Poe, for six shows at Clay Hill Farm Restaurant beginning Friday, October 26, at 6 p.m. in POE: Tales of Fear & Suspense <\/em><\/strong>– <\/em>a theatrical dining experience. Captivating audiences with his spooky-good dramatic readings, Mr. Edgar Allan Poe (Simpson) hosts an intensely up-close and personal, theatrical evening of delectable dining and sinister storytelling that is not to be missed. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While enjoying an a la carte dinner, fans of Poe’s ghoulish “grimoire” will revel in Simpson’s theatrical brilliance while he brings to ominous life such favorites as The <\/em>Tell–Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, <\/em>and The Raven, <\/em>weaving his way around the tables of an eerily claustrophobic setting in Clay Hill Farm’s frighteningly-festooned Veranda Room. This is Simpson’s seventh successful year performing POE: Tales of Fear & Suspense<\/strong> <\/em>at Clay Hill Farm Restaurant, garnering rave reviews from sold-out shows each year. Simpson’s mesmerizing theatricality as the dark and enigmatic Poe, coupled with a simple yet disturbing setting, will have lovers of both theater and the Master of the Macabre, on the edge of their seats. <\/p>\n

Tickets are $20 per person, plus the cost of dinner. Performances are evenings at 6 p.m. on Friday, October 26, November 2, and November 9 and Wednesdays, Halloween, October 31, and November 7.<\/p>\n
