Innovative theater director Thaddeus Phillips teams up with the Minneapolis-based musical duo Wilhelm Bros. & Co. to create an action-opera that follows the odd details surrounding Edgar Allan Poe's mysterious last days. Set in September 1849, "RED-EYE to HAVRE de GRACE" follows Poe on a tour from Virginia to New York, focusing on a stop in Maryland where a train conductor saw Poe in a stranger's clothes headed south...where he would die just days later.
