The great Irish Poet Michael Longley is dead. He was beloved by readers of poetry on both sides of the pond, and in particular by the Poets' Theatre family. In October 2019 Michael and his wife, the literary critic Edna Longley, came over to be officially enrolled, both of them, in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. PT Artistic Director Bob Scanlan and I took the couple out to Concord MA for a nice foamy lunch, a visit to the graves of Emerson, Alcott and Thoreau, and then a walk out the "dike" at Great Meadows, where Bob snapped us sitting on a bench in the autumn twilight."Let the Irish vessel lie/ Emptied of its poetry."

Co-writers Matthew Spangler and Benjamin Evett bring us this bold new adaptation of one of the greatest poems ever written. Called “Captivating” by The Boston Globe, it brings us face to face with the Ancient Mariner,doomed for eternity to retell his harrowing story of an old ship, a voyage to the bottom of the world, and a mystical seabird. It’s a rollicking sea yarn, a fascinating character study, a celebration of storytelling, and a spiritual odyssey into the interconnectedness of all living things. Nominated for three Elliot Norton Awards, including Outstanding New Script, Outstanding Solo Performance, and Outstanding Production.
