Poe Dinner at Reynolds Tavern

4-ways-to-savor-annapolis-this-november-5Enjoy a three course prix fixe dinner, and witness POE’s last moments in the Reynolds Tavern.

Annapolis Shakespeare Company (ASC) presents their third annual production based on the last days of Edgar Allan Poe in the historic downstairs pub at Reynolds Tavern. ASC's annual production of Poe boasts an all new script for 2016! The production will include a number of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous works including the Raven and Annabel Lee. Broadway actor Brian Keith MacDonald returns as the mysterious Edgar Allan Poe, father of modern detective fiction, pioneer of the science fiction tale, a misunderstood genius, a visionary and a man of contradiction and vice. For the third season, ASC will present an all-new production in the same intimate venue at Reynolds with an intricate script and a superb cast. Oh, and a great meal!
