Shakespeare, Poe & Fiends

Once more upon a midnight dreary, Delaware Shakespeare opens many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore during “Shakespeare, Poe & Fiends!” This autumnal tradition is a night designed to fright and delight, as our actors share gothic tales from prose, poetry and plays inside four historic locations around Delaware.

October 11-14, 2019

Venue Information TBD

The evening lasts approximately one hour.

Excellent venues and masterful lighting set the mood for both the actors and the audience
