NEVERTOLD: THE HILARIOUS HIJINKS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE
ROLES: co-creator, writer
GENRE: Comedy / Musical / Historical
LOGLINE: Laughs abound as Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, and Mark Twain deal with addiction, sexism, mental illness and countless other hilarious pitfalls on their way to the top of the dog-eat-dog world of Victorian era publishing..
WRITER NOTES: Nevertold came to life when Ike Flitcraft and I decided to turn our show business misadventures, passion for mental health, and obsession with literary icons into a surrealist rock opera. Ike wrote the lyrics, we co-wrote the book, and Tom Gault produced the musical tracks with us. We recorded five rock numbers with radio play portions, bringing Edgar Allan Poe and other iconic characters into this wild, off-the-rails journey. It’s a love letter to mental health, literary chaos, and the thrill of creating something unique. We’re currently looking for partners to help bring the pilot to life and working on a one-man play starring our version of Poe.
You can listen to the songs on this page and read the pilot here.
