ADRIAN — The Adrian District Library, from 3 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6, is hosting the special event, “In the Shadow of the Raven,” about American writer, poet, editor and literary critic Edgar Allan Poe.
Broadway and film veteran Duffy Hudson brings his talent and fascination for Edgar Allan Poe to life in this unique one-man play, a news release from the Adrian District Library, 143 E. Maumee St., said. The play begins as Poe — who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales involving mystery and the macabre — rises from the scene of his mysterious death and continues as he pieces together the events of his life.
“Using a combination of biographical information and the dramatic interpretation of Poe’s literature, ‘Annabel Lee,’ ‘The Raven’ and ‘The Tell Tale Heart,’ Hudson provides a unique, in-depth theatrical experience of the life and works of one of America’s best-known and enigmatic personalities,” the library detailed.
