Nevermoreby Catalyst Theatre - Toronto Premiere

The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe.

Be among the first to take this dreamlike theatrical trip into the bizarre world of Egdar Allan Poe, master of suspense, fascination and dread.  Hot on the heels of its June debut at Ottawa's Magnetic North Theatre Festival comes the Toronto premiere of a uniquely compelling theatrical experience, co-commissioned by Luminato as part of our celebration of Edgar Allan Poe.

Delightfully dark and heart-breakingly comic, this amazing new creation by Edmonton's award-winning Catalyst Theatre is a musical-gothic fairy tale for adults, an irreverent and affectionate homage to an iconic literary misfit.

"With its unique visual language and disorientating sense of humour, Catalyst promises to rewrite the theatrical agenda for other companies straining to be original."
- Rachel Haliburton, The Independent, UK

"Nevermore is, like Frankenstein before it, nothing short of magnificent, a highly stylized but still pointedly intelligent piece of theatre by a company that seems to produce nothing but."
 - Vue Weekly

 "... wonderful and fantastical to behold..."

"As Nevermore: The Imaginary Life And Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe demonstrates, in its playful way, "mystery and horror and unrelenting Woe" can be fun. Catalyst's lilting new musical fantasia on the life, death and tales of Edgar Allan Poe gets a kick, theatrically speaking, out of being morbid and giving us a shiver."
- Edmonton Journal
