Moyamensing: Scenes From The Life, Death and Dreams of Edgar Allan Poe
By Marty Ross

A live recording of a radio drama for BBC Radio Scotland.

Edgar Allan Poe - drunk, desolate, death-haunted - finds things getting worse as he is locked overnight in Philadelphia's Moyamensing Prison where his worst nightmares await him.

An obscure but true incident from the closing act of Poe's tragic life inspires a surreal, scary and darkly comic psychological portrait of the tragic genius.

To be broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland on Halloween.

Date: Sunday 19 October
Venue: CCA, Glasgow
Doors open: 6.30pm
