Darryl Maximilian Robinson Unveils A Recent Video Theatre Rendition of Edgar Allan Poe's Classic Poem 'The Conqueror Worm' At The Levitt Pavilion In Los Angeles' MacArthur Park

Now celebrating his 50th anniversary as an American Stage Performer, Darryl Maximilian Robinson shares a short video theatre homage to the works of an American Literary Master.

As All Hallow's Eve approaches, a Chicago-trained stage veteran is pleased to share an Encore Video Presentation of a poem by the late, great American literary giant Edgar Allan Poe that is quite suitable and appropriate for the mood of the season.

Chicago-born and LA-based Thespian Darryl Maximilian Robinson ( a 1997 Chicago Joseph Jefferson Citation Award Winner as Outstanding Actor In A Principal Role In A Play for his work with his multiracial chamber theater The Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago in Athol Fugard's 'Master Harold And The Boys' and a 2015 / 2016 Los Angeles Elate Season Ticket Holder Best Actor Award Nominee for his work at North Hollywood's Lincoln Stegman Theatre in Tad Mosel's classic one-act of life in The Theatre 'Impromptu' ) last year released a new video theatre version of Edgar Allan Poe's classic poem 'The Conqueror Worm' In Los Angeles.

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.

Now, Darryl Maximilian Robinson has endeavored to give lovers of the poet's words " A Little Poe In The Park" with an encore of his recent video offering of 'The Conqueror Worm' presented on the outdoor stage of The Levitt Pavilion in Los Angeles' MacArthur Park.

Photographed, videotaped and Edited by longtime ESC Member and fellow actor Danny Belrose on Tuesday July 19th of 2022, Darryl Maximilian Robinson's latest addition to the gallery of short classics by The Excaliber Shakespeare Company Los Angeles Archival Project is a stage interpretation of Poe's poem that addresses the inevitability of decay and death.
