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."

Celebrate the solstice with fun, frolic and ferocious adventure in a modern Medieval mead hall as we bring to life the immortal tale of Beowulf, who battles monsters (and their mothers!) to save the kingdom of the proud king Hrothgar. Feast on food, drink, music, dancing, juggling, viking combat, and most importantly the exuberant and intoxicating poetry of this magical story, as translated by Cambridge’s own Nobel Laureate, Seamus Heaney. A thrill-filled holiday treat for heroes of all ages.
