Experience an evening of eerie enchantment at the historic Hedge House, with dramatic readings of Edgar Allan Poe’s most chilling tales and poems. This year’s program will feature new dramatic interpretations alongside familiar favorites, unfolding through the shadowed, candlelit rooms of the house.
Along the way, encounter selected objects from our Victorian Gothic display, evoking the darker side of 19th-century fashion, mourning, and material culture. The evening also reveals the fascinating story of Plymouth’s own Lizzie Doten, a renowned 19th-century spirit medium who claimed to channel the spirit of Poe himself. History, literature, and the supernatural come together for a night of mystery, suspense, and macabre delight.
