Edgar Allan Poe's: Manuscript Found in a Bottle

"This critically-acclaimed 'tour-de-force one-man performance' (Falls Church News-Press Entertainment Writer) brings new life to one of Edgar Allan Poe's little known, but significant, stories. In 1833, as part of a short story writing contest, Poe crafted 'MS Found in a Bottle.' This story topped over 100 other entries and earned the 1st place prize of $50 and publication in the Saturday Visiter Newspaper. This story inspired later writers like Herman Melville and Jules Verne, and, while not his most popular work, it launched his career as a writer. In this production, listeners will be engrossed in the story through classic narration encompassing multiple characters, incredible sound effects to bring you into the ghost ship amongst the zombie-like crew, into the hurricanes and the doldrums, and in the cold winds of Antarctica.
