Poe Theatre on the Air: The National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre podcasts

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This practitioner’s perspective explores the podcast adaptations produced for the award-winning Poe Theatre on the Air (PTA) series, an output of the Baltimore-based National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre. Poe’s oeuvre has always been recognized as offering a rich source for adaptation across media, not least audio. Exploring the legacy of Poe on radio and the potential of his gothic texts for auditory horror, the article gives an account of the PTA professional project and includes the full script of PTA’s ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ (2009).
