 Three tales of Edgar Allan Poe's master detective.
With Edgar Allan Poe’s creation of the character of C. Auguste Dupin, the master of the macabre forever changed crime fiction. Dupin was the first modern detective. He was the archetype for literary sleuths Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot, solving seemingly unsolvable crimes with logic and astonishing deductions.
This play brings together Poe’s three spellbinding Dupin Mysteries: The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter for an engrossing evening of murder, mayhem and meerschaum pipes.
John Strysik is the playwright/adaptor/director. He is known for his work in film and television, including the screenplay for the award-winning movie Stuck, directed by Stuart Gordon and starring Mena Suvari and Stephen Rea. Strysik was a director and writer on the tv series Tales From the Darkside and Monsters. He also directed the reboot of the ABC series Land of the Lost. He also co-authored the book Lurker in the Lobby: A Guide to the Cinema of H.P. Lovecraft. His previous plays include Power & Light, Villainy, Death with Benefits, and The Tragicall Historie of Doctor Dee.
The cast for the new play includes Todd Andrew Ball, Randall Craig, Patrick Grant, Michael Mullen and Caroline Quigley.
Before there was Sherlock Holmes, before there was Hercule Poirot, there was C. Auguste Dupin.
