“It’s a theatrical act of remembrance and a sacrament of grief, but it’s also a comedy… go see the play, and feel their relationship alive and tingling.” – The New York Times
“A lesson in how to love.”—The Arts Desk
This play is an adaptation of Sarah Ruhl and Max Ritvo’s 2018 epistolary book, Letters from Max: A Poet, a Teacher, a Friendship. this intimate, poetic play 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.
“We’ll always know one another forever, however long ever is. And that’s all I want—is to know you forever.”
Letters From Max premiered off-broadway in 2023 at Signature Theater in New York City, directed by Kate Whoriskey and starring Jessica Hecht, Zane Pais, and Ben Edelman.
“Letters From Max” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
