Play adaptations of EAPoe short stories?

When I was in high school many moons ago, we did three one-act plays. They were adaptations of "The Black Cat", "Murder in the Rue Morgue", and "The Fall of the House of Usher". I would like to do one of them with my high school students. Anyone know where I might locate them?

I have not heard of these adaptations, but I did post this in question to a request for any stage works about Poe:

I saw a play about 15 years ago called "Purloined Poe" in Chicago. It wasn't a biography per se, but did represent his life allegorically through his writings. It was an interesting show and quite good.

If you can find the script, maybe something can be adapted for your purposes.
