“Duffy Hudson was engaging, funny, and witty as Edgar Allen Poe; and open, artless, and conversant during the audience Q & A. There was not a dull moment in the performance. Though previously not a big fan of Poe, I was drawn to him by watching Hudson’s depiction. He brought Poe and his work to life!” (PS—After the performance I went home and pulled out all our Poe literature)
Jeanne Bradley
“I got to see Hal Holbrook doing “Mark Twain” and Duffy Hudson’s “Edgar” compares very favorably…a magnificent performance!”
“Unbelievable! He held us spellbound from start to finish! He really became Edgar Allan Poe.”
Laural Ronk, Executive Director Bluffs Arts Council
So far, in my entire life, I have never experienced such a beautiful and mind opening show. The theories and attention to detail involved in this show opened my mind in ways I never thought possible.

“Our students and staff were mesmerized.”
“I forgot I was watching a play and thought Edgar Allan Poe was in the room.”
“I particularly appreciated Hudson’s candid and entertaining talk-back session after his performance. He shed additional light not only on Edgar Allan Poe but on his journey as an actor as well…Splendid!”
“Duffy received a standing ovation. He then proceeded to sit and chat and answer questions for almost an hour, wonderful, engaging and well worth the money.”
“He did an excellent job of performing Edgar Allen Poe and adding interesting facts about his life. The students and teachers loved the performance. We hope to have him again next year.”
“The students were amazed by Duffy's ability to memorize so much material. We thought he was great. I would like to book him again in the future.”
“My students and staff were impressed with the presentation. I would love to make this an annual presentation for our senior class.”
“Duffy Hudson is a professional who delighted all who attended his one man show. The show was entertaining, suspenseful, and educational---an amazing combination. His Q&A session afterwards was almost as absorbing as the performance itself! He was gracious to work with as well. This is one of those rare programs that truly appeals to all ages.”
