This is a short play adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's famous short story of the same title. A band of gypsies narrate and set the scene. Speaking in rhyme they act as puppeteers and speak directly to the audience. The story follows a man seeking revenge on an unsuspecting victim. They travel deep below the rivers bed in search of a barrel, or cask, of Amontillado. The play is approximately 12 minutes.

Second Edition, Revised & Expanded Forgotten for decades until cryptically recalled in the 1970s as "the son of a gambler and a patiently suffering mother," Edgar Goodno was a force of nature from the moment he set foot in 1890s Florida. Making up for lost time, this "hustler from Hustleville" quickly parlayed his modest Fort Myers lunch stand into a sprawling empire in the state's rugged outback. He amassed 8,000 acres of land, became a successful citrus grower, a dairyman, an innovative cattle baron, opened two landmark hotels, started a commercial ice venture, guided the "Wild West" outpost of LaBelle into the modern era, then set his sights on transforming the tiny railroad settlement of Goodno into a thriving community. In 35 fast-paced chapters featuring dozens of vintage images, readers journey with the Goodno family into the 1850s frontiers of Illinois and Wisconsin, trek into Reconstruction Missouri, then traverse the Oklahoma border on the eve of the 1893 Cherokee Land Run. Robb's biography also spotlights Edgar Goodno's previously unknown arrival in Fort Myers, his feverish land acquisitions along the-then mystical Caloosahatchee River, his unpublished street plat for the "city" of Goodno, and his collaboration with industrialists Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone on a hush-hush project soon trumpeted by the media as a "mammoth rubber plantation." In capturing one man's boundless faith and courage, his successes and failures, Robb illuminates the hundreds of forgotten developers who waged a losing battle to transform Florida's swampy interior into the nation's next promised land. Reviews of Edgar Everett Goodno: A Florida Pioneer and His Ghost Town Remembered "Matthew Robb has succeeded in reminding us of the power and thrill of narrative history. Readers will discover unforgettable characters living on the edge of the Florida frontier, where Edgar Goodno and Henry Ford chased an elusive Florida dream." - Gary R. Mormino, Land of Sunshine, State of Dreams: A Social History of Florida; Resident Scholar, Florida Humanities Council; and former co-director of the Florida Studies Program at USF St. Petersburg "Matthew Robb is that rare biographer who can weave long-buried information into a highly readable story. Here, in absorbing fashion, he spotlights the life and times of Edgar Goodno, the massively ambitious, headlines-making land developer who sought to transform southwest Florida's interior, yet today is mostly remembered for his ghost town. Read. Learn. Enjoy." - Joseph H. Thomas, President, LaBelle Heritage Museum "In this fascinating chronicle of one of the most influential-yet-unknown men in the history of southwest Florida, Matthew Robb brings Edgar Goodno and his tumultuous era to vivid life." - Amy Bennett Williams, Along the Caloosahatchee River "Matthew Robb and I first met when he contacted me to obtain vintage images from my family's archives. One photograph in particular continues to haunt me and readers will find it on the cover of his new biography. Here, the specter of Edgar Goodno materializes from his eponymous settlement, as though waiting to take us to the other side, to the spirit world of a long-forgotten Florida. To be sure, Edgar Goodno was an enigma, yet Matthew Robb possesses that rare ability to bring him to life, to captivate his audience and to fire our imagination. The result is a spellbinding masterpiece of a biography that strikes a fine balance between lore and legend, man and town, then and now. If you love the history of southwest Florida, particularly its places and faces, this book is a must read. Enjoy the journey." - Woody Hanson, Hanson Family Archives of Fort Myers
Most frequently regarded as a writer of the supernatural, Poe was actually among the most versatile of American authors, writing social satire, comic hoaxes, mystery stories, science fiction, prose poems, literary criticism and theory, and even a play. As a journalist and editor, Poe was closely in touch with the social, political, and cultural trends of nineteenth-century America. Recent scholarship has linked Poe's imaginative writings to the historical realities of nineteenth-century America, including to science and technology, wars and politics, the cult of death and bereavement, and, most controversially, to slavery and stereotyped attitudes toward women. Edgar Allan Poe: Beyond Gothicism presents a systematic approach to topical criticism of Poe, revealing a new portrait of Poe as an author who blended topics of intellectual and social importance and returned repeatedly to these ideas in different works and using different aesthetic strategies during his brief but highly productive career. Twelve essays point readers toward new ways of considering Poe's themes, techniques, and aesthetic preoccupations by looking at Poe in the context of landscapes, domestic interiors, slavery, prosody, Eastern cultures, optical sciences, Gothicism, and literary competitions, clubs, and reviewing.
