2015 (Spring & Fall Editions) | Enoch Pratt House – Maryland Center for History and Culture

“Are you asleep?”

An immersive theater experience in a realm where living, dead, fact, and fiction commingle.

“The Mesmeric Revelations! of Edgar Allan Poe,” was a many-layered immersive theater experience that ran through the Spring and Fall of 2015. The audience would freely explore the first floor of the Enoch Pratt House and observe one or more of nine overlapping stories based Poe’s life and fiction. The fully devised work incorporated movement, spoken word, song, explorable sets, and private character encounters. The action was synchronized to a 2-hour continuous soundtrack composed in conjunction with the rest of the devising process. After a sold-out run in Spring 2015, the show was remounted with additional characters and a double cast for three more months of shows in Fall 2015. At 62 shows total, it stands as the longest-running immersive theatre piece in Baltimore history.

 The Mesmeric Revelations! of Edgar Allan Poe proved that there are many corridors of the poet’s mind yet to explore.”
