POLLUTED LIGHT & BASEMENT LIGHT PRESENT
EDGAR ALLAN SHIT-POE-ST
March 15-24 @ The Tank NYC
WHO DARES KNOCK ON MY CHAMBER DOOR?
I chimed in with, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the godd*mn door?"
NO! Actually, the Raven's friends cannot close the door when his love life is at stake! A forever-eligible bachelor married only to his writing, EDGAR ALLAN SH*T-POE-ST, or, ALL 19TH CENTURY POETS ARE F*CKBOYS! whisks the Raven on an epic journey through Poe's complete bibliography, the crushing highs and lows of early 2000s pop ballads, and an interrogation of separating the art from the artist. An epic adaptation and send up of the spooky kooky poet/bachelor/OG emo boy we love, EDGAR ALLAN SH*T-POE-ST bravely asks, "Can Mr. Brightside and Poe coexist in the theatre?" We'd like to prove they can!

Coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine Gotta gotta be down Because I want it all It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head But she's touching his dick!
