What critics from around the world say about Nevermore

Nevermore has travelled far and wide over the last five years.

Here’s what critics said in some other cities:

“It is all something of a grotesque marvel … a witty and atmospheric evening.”

— The Guardian (London)

“It’s hard to look away from the grimly purposeful account of a haunted life lived in the shadow of death as Edgar (Scott Shpeley) progresses from infancy through adulthood, his imagination shaped by tragedy, solitude, loss, cruelty, madness and fear.”

— New York Times

Bizarre doesn’t get any better than this spooky spectacle. ”

— Vancouver Sun

“Once upon a mid-week weary, in the Barbican so dreary, while I nodded, nearly napping, came there actors, vaguely tapping, gently rapping, on my semiconscious door. Edgar A llan Poe’s the subject of their mock heroic mumming, all in words and gentle strumming, and their title’s Nevermore.”

— The London Independent

“T he production will stay with you long after this creepy holiday weekend has passed … The beauty is the telling of the story: the minimal set, the gorgeous costumes, the exquisite acting and singing by the extraordinarily talented cast.”

— New York Theatre (website)

“With hauntingly beautiful melodies, Nevermore breathes new life into Poe’s work and explores a twisted true-life tale that is as bizarre as his classic stories of the macabre.”

— Theatre Mania (New York)
