The Midnight Matinee - The Cask Of Amontillado - Starring John Astin and Mark Redfield (Ep 24-8)

Recorded at Westminster Hall in Baltimore, MD

Poe’s tale of revenge, served ice cold, was published in the November 1846 issues of the magazines “Godey’s lady’s Book” and “The New England Weekly Review”.

Our production was adapted and directed by Tony Tsendeas, with incidental music and sound scape by David Crandall.

Our star , John Astin, has performed a one-man show called “Edgar Allan Poe: Once Upon a Midnight”, written by Paul Day Clemons and Ron Magid.

Said John about Poe: “I feel that Poe, through his own tortured existence, gained deep insight into the nature of the universe, along with an intense love and appreciation for life itself. Through this play I want to share that impression with others."

John Astin has had a long, rich career as an actor in radio, films and television, taught theater at Johns Hopkins University, and is most famously know for his role as "Gomez Addams" in the television show "The Addams Family".

THE POE FAMILY COMES FROM IRELAND!

It begins, as far back as can be reliably traced, to Edgar’s great-great-grandfather David Poe in the town of Dring, County Cavan, Ireland, about 75 miles north of Dublin. (There are going to be a few “Davids” in our brief re-cap, so get your score cards ready!)

There is no record of David Poe’s birth, only of his death in 1742. He was a farmer and overseer of Parrish roads in Kidallan in County Cavan. It is possible (but there is no definite proof) that he was descended from the Dr. Leonard Poe who was the official physician for King James I and later for King Charles I.

David Poe, who married a woman named Sarah, gave birth to a son called John (date unknown). John Poe (Edgar’s great-grandfather) married Jane McBride and immigrated to America sometime around 1749 or 1750. They lived briefly in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and then moved and settled in Baltimore, Maryland. David and Jane had 10 children. Their son David (Edgar’s grandfather—still with me?) was born in either 1742 or 1743 before they came to America.

Featuring poetry read by Mark Redfield by:

- Edgar Allan Poe

- Samuel Beckett

- Jane Wilde

- William Butler Yeats
