Edgar Allan Poe: A Celebration

Went to see my old colleague Tony Parkin performing his one-man show on the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe this evening, at St Mary Le Bow Church, Cheapside. (It's Poe's 200th anniversary) Telling the whole thing in the first person, Tony intersperces what is known of the author's life with excerpts from his work. Put it all together, and you get an hour that is as much a history lesson as it is a fine theatrical performance.
