TALES OF MADNESS brings together dramatized retellings of two well-known works by Edgar Allan Poe. In Poe's "The Raven," a young man struggles with the loss of his love and the significance of her death. He must now confront a new adversary as a talking Raven causes him to question reality. In "The Tell-Tale Heart," a young woman under suspicion of murder must face the police and choose between proving her innocence or her sanity. The half-hour program draws similarities between the two classic works of literature while focusing on some of the themes that are most characteristic of Poe's writing style.
