Viewing Notes
RIP Stuart Gordon
August 11, 1947 - March 24, 2020
Curious if this is where the idea germinated for the NEVERMORE stage play Gordon devised with Jeffrey Combs. Combs is definitely great as Poe even if this story is just okay. He elevates the material for sure. Wonder if a recording of NEVERMORE exists and could be released on DVD. Gordon deserves the attention. Gonna miss him.
