The Strange Case Of Edgar Allan Poe


The Strange Case Of Edgar Allan Poe (1988). Detective Auguste Dupin (John Moffatt), one of Poe's (Kerry Shale) own creations, investigates the bizarre death of the writer. Not your usual by the numbers dramatic biog, Christopher Cook's play draws from Poe's own literary voice to present lurid vignettes from the author's life, linked by narration and analysis from Detective Dupin.
