Edgar A. Poe’s Last Call

RFI NYC Productions presents the UK debut of Edgar A. Poe's Last Call coming to Camden Fringe Festival. Written and performed by Scott Robinson (They Rescue Horses, Don’t They, Turner Classic Movies; Black Rabbit, Netflix), this gripping solo show delves into the final hours of Edgar Allan Poe’s life, blending poetry, and psychological drama to uncover the man behind one of literature's most enduring legends.

Blurring the line between reality and imagination, Edgar A. Poe's Last Call weaves together poetry, music and memory to create an immersive portrait of a mind on the brink. As Poe confronts grief, loss and the ghosts of his past, audiences are drawn into the stories that shaped his extraordinary legacy. Moving through nineteenth-century candlelit darkness, the production uncovers the vulnerable and deeply human figure behind one of literature’s greatest myths.

Following solo show development classes at The Barrow Group in New York City and workshop productions at The Rat Theatre in Brooklyn, Scott Robinson’s emotionally charged performance, Poe’s words are brought vividly back to life, balancing psychological suspense with moments of humour, wit and tenderness. 

Edgar A. Poe's Last Call explores the fragile line between brilliance and obsession, challenging what artists sacrifice in pursuit of their work and whether great art can ultimately consume the person who creates it.
