Letters from Max

Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents a live theater matinee performance of Letters From Max, directed by Nancy Simon. This live theater play is an adaptation of Sarah Ruhl and Max Ritvo’s 2018 epistolary book, Letters from Max A Poet, a Teacher, a Friendship that explores the relationship between Sarah and her former student, Max. With humor, lyricism and candor, the two friends share letters and poems as Max faces terminal illness and tests poetry’s capacity to put to words what otherwise feels ineffable.
