Olivier Award-nominated author, playwright, and poet Glyn Maxwell adapts his celebrated novel into a site-specific theatre production.
It’s a strange day in Nyack, NY. America’s Last Library is being demolished, the Last Votes are being counted in the Last Election Ever, with Rockland County the Last to Declare. Meanwhile Glyn Maxwell, an English Professor – well, a professor who is English – wanders into a pub and thinks he recognizes certain Dead Poets at the bar.
Will he get served? Will America get saved? At this point in history, he’ll settle for either one. Pass a pleasant evening with Poets, Ghosts, and the End of the World in the upstairs bar of Nyack’s famous Hudson House in Maxwell’s DRINKS WITH DEAD POETS.
Author and Playwright Gyn Maxwell.
