I Might Be Edgar Allan Poe

Dawson Nichols brings "I Might Be Edgar Allan Poe"  to the Bakehouse after receiving 5 STARS for his other Fringe 2014 show "Virtual Solitaire"
(see review attached below).

"I  Might Be Edgar Allan Poe" is a crowd-pleasing and horrific comedy about Joseph, a man who believes he just might be the master of the macabre. For this he is institutionalized, but at the OakBrook facility he uncovers uncanny parallels between his life and that of Edgar Allan Poe. With doctors and fellow inmates he explores these parallels until he becomes convinced that he really is Poe. Joseph thinks this has solved the issue, but his doctors aren’t so easily convinced.

True to Poe, this production moves from bizarre horror to outlandish humor to poignant drama. Audiences familiar with Poe’s works will love this new look at the old master. Audiences unfamiliar with Poe’s works will revel in the unusual mixture of comedy and horror.

“Nichols shows us not just the horror of the madness we so love in Poe, but also the humanity behind the horror, the context for the madness.”  – The Austin Chronicle
“The script is extraordinary, Nichols’s performance is stunning.”   - The Victoria Times Colonist
“A shaman-like performance.”   – The Seattle PI
“Intensity, thy name is Dawson Nichols.” – Vancouver Sun
