World Premiere Thriller, Nevermore to Open Jan. 8th at El Centro Theatre

he world premiere of a new thriller, NEVERMORE, will be coming to El Centro Theatre in Hollywood beginning January 8th, 2011.

NEVERMORE sprang from the desire to create a thriller with the atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe's THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER and THE TELL-TALE HEART. The story quickly evolved into a fictionalized account of Poe's life featuring the moments that inspired some of his most famous work.

In NEVERMORE, A young Edgar Allan Poe visits the crumbling estate of his old childhood friend Monty to keep him company over the weekend as the house is shuttered up for sale.

But Poe hasn't come to reminisce.

As the hours pass, he finds himself caught up in a web of secrets and lies from the past, from the mysterious deaths of Monty's parents to the unknown whereabouts of Monty's sister Lenore.

In a series of encounters - which mirror such classics as "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Raven" - Poe must discover the truth and come face to face with his dark past.

El Centro in Hollywood, 90038, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, Sundays at 2 PM. Tickets are $10 Preview, $20 General Admission. Running time is 90 minutes with intermission.
