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."

Our Mission
The Poets’ Theatre aspires to elevate the poetic possibilities of the theatre. We invite audiences to share in the universal languages of poetry and theatre, which imbue every element, including language, lighting, movement, sound, and space, with multiple meanings, allowing us to express the otherwise inexpressible. We celebrate the work of poets past and present, and innovate new ways of theatre-making that electrify audiences and illuminate the vast and beautiful diversity of the human experience.
