\u201cRANDY KIM PUTS POETRY INTO PLAY\u2026.Kim\u2019s performance was well up to expected standards. He is a polished performer and, as he proved in his Mark Twain show, has the rare ability to hold an audience single handedly for an entire evening\u2026Kim\u2019s delivery was worthy of his material, and the overall result was a gripping performance that every present or prospective fan of Edgar Allan Poe would be foolish to miss.\u201d \u201cI hesitate to employ superlatives to describe the ETA\u2019s magnificent production, THE\t MYSTERIOUS EDGAR ALLEN POE. Those who have seen the production are \t\t capable of forming their own superlatives, and I urge those who have not seen this\t production to hasten to do so\u2026.If any mystery did surround Edgar Allen Poe, its shroud was ripped off last night by Mr. Randy Kim and Co. Poe the enigma became very much Poe the man. His very soul was stripped of all its veils and layed bare, bare before the audience to be viewed in all its multifaceted splendor.\u201d \u201cKIM REINCARNATES POE WITH MASTERY\u2026.Kim\u2019s recreation of Poe\u2019s being, both in the flesh and spirit, is an awesome example of professional, creative theater. From the moment the mustachioed and booted figure skulks to his candlelit table of books, to the final collapse (death?) into his dark, black chair, the audience is enveloped by the soul of Poe\u2026The theme of madness, in both Poe himself and in his works, is rendered exquisitely by the talented Kim. The interweaving of \u201ccontrolled intellect\u201d, emotive genius and demented mind is both cleanly etched and labyrinthine\u2026Randy Kim is a past master at makeup\u2026His ability was again demonstrated in his latex and greasepaint recreation of Poe\u2019s face.\u201d [aesop_gallery pslightbox=”on” galleryType=”grid” id=”1196″] Review Excerpts \u201cRANDY KIM PUTS POETRY INTO PLAY\u2026.Kim\u2019s performance was well up to expected standards.
