Olivier-nominated author, playwright and poet Glyn Maxwell adapts his celebrated novel into a unique theatrical performance. 

It’s a strange day in Nyack, New York.

America’s Last Library is being demolished, the Last Votes are being counted in the Last Election Ever, and Rockland County is 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.

Poets, Ghosts and the End of the World pass a pleasant evening in Glyn Maxwell’s DRINKS WITH DEAD POETS.

RUN TIME: 90 minutes with no intermission
Box office opens 1 hour before show time.

Fresh from a sold-out run at Phoenix Festival in the Hudson Valley, Crime and Punishment has a limited run in New York City. 

Often spoken of as the greatest crime story ever written, it is a tale of murder, motive and redemption that plumbs the depths of the human soul.

For modern audiences, imagine a 19th century Tony Soprano named Raskolnikov who fancies himself above the law - entitled to such an extent that he may decide who is worthy of life and of death. But that all ends when he meets his match in Inspector Porfiry, a master of mind games who is determined to elicit a confession from the ever-more-demented Raskolnikov.

A taut thrilling adaptation that compresses all the tension and pathos of the novel into a powerful 90 minutes of theater that is at once fresh and faithful to the original.

RUN TIME: 90m with no intermission.
Box office opens 1 hour before show time.
