“This extraordinary production was a masterpiece of artistic achievement. The powerful energy and tremendous talent of the players resulted in a stunning and memorable experience. From the opening scene to the conclusion, the audience is spellbound by the compelling story, the evocative connection to Poe’s works and the versatility of the actors/singers/dancers. The standard of the production was second to none. These seven talented performers did a wonderful job of bringing this haunting and tragic story to life. This is a must-see production, whose impact will remain timelessly in the mind of the theatre-goers.”

“Nevermore was a totally unexpected delight of the highest order. The wonderful music underlying the story line as well as the incredible physicality of the play left us both breathless.
