Review by CHRISTOPHER M. ALLPORT

June 18, 2023 certified reviewer

What I liked

The interactions with the puppet performance, gracefully crafted by Alayha Aquarian of the Aquarian Family Circus, juxtapose a lighthearted reaction to the darkness of Poe. Aquarian’s Raven appears as the conscience of Edgar Allen Poe.

What I didn't like

Bobb’s vocal projection is magnificent, however for smaller venues, I suggest modulating the level down a notch or two, at times, creating a more intimate and varied environment for audiences.

My overall impression

The advanced mind of Dr. Bobbs must thrive at the intersection of Science and Art. PhD physicist by day, and performer by night, Bradley Bobs has a penchant for the resurrection of important figures of yore.

With Poe, Bobbs offers more than a glimpse into the beautifully tortured mind of Edgar Allen. Bobb’s’ poetic expansion takes the audience into a stream-of-consciousness through what must have been the bipolar personality of Edgar Allen Poe.
