I’m slowly working my way through the ‘Short Sharp Shocks’ set and up next was a telling of the Edgar Allen poe classic.

Quite atmospheric with a decent emotional range. I thought the lighting was perfect for this piece, even if the performance did border on campy a little bit. I liked this one! While I wouldn’t say it delivered a ‘short, sharp, shock’ it most certainly did make a tense atmosphere. Which I for one really appreciated.
