NEVERMORE – ON FILM
$15 (one week rental)
Catalyst Theatre’s celebrated stage play NEVERMORE – The Imaginary Life & Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe is now a film!
Delightfully dark, heartbreakingly comic, and playfully grotesque, NEVERMORE – The Imaginary Life & Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe is a whimsical and chilling musical fairytale for adults journeying through the life of one of literature’s most prolific figures. Bizarrely beautiful and wonderfully witty, NEVERMORE uses haunting song, poetic storytelling and surreal imagery to explore the events that shaped Poe’s career and ignited his lifelong battle with “visions dark and sinister.”
Recorded in 2023 at Calgary’s Vertigo Theatre, NEVERMORE – On Film will allow audiences to experience the show like never before. You will fall in love all over again with the dreamy costumes, spellbinding choreography, and mesmerizing story in this professionally-shot legacy piece. This film captures NEVERMORE at the height of its powers, featuring the all-star original cast reunited for the first time since 2011.
