As an experienced stage performer, adaptor and director of the works of 19th-century American literary master Edgar Allan Poe, classically-trained thespian Darryl Maximilian Robinson ( the Founder, Artistic Director and Producer of both The Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago and The Excaliber Shakespeare Company Los Angeles Archival Project ) has always relished an opportunity to bring the Gothic poet to new audiences. And his prevously released "street theatre"-style video renditions of 'Annabel Lee' at Santa Monica Pier and 'El Dorado' at LA's Bruce Lee Statue in Chinatown reflect this.
