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 deliver readings of gothic tales from prose, poetry and plays inside four historic locations around Delaware.

October Dates and Venues to be announced Summer 2020

The evening lasts approximately 75 minutes.

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