Shakespeare, Poe, and Fiends

Delaware Shakespeare is back with a fan-favorite: Shakespeare, Poe, and Fiends!” This special event will feature Del Shakes artists performing selections of scenes, prose, and poetry from Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and their Gothic contemporaries. And as always, we’ll close with a dramatic reading of Poe’s “The Raven.” It is sure to fright and delight all who join!
