“Murder by Poe,” August 7 through 16

A creepy and beguiling stage piece drawn from author Edgar Allan Poe’s most chilling works, playwright Jeffrey Hatcher's Murder by Poe makes its debut at Moline's Playcrafters Barn Theatre from August 7 through 16, this theatrical treat hailed by the New York Times as an "eerie delight ... as if the theatre were a laboratory and we were students watching humans turn themselves into experiments."
