Letters From Max follows the friendship between Sarah, a college professor, and her former student Max, during his battle with terminal illness. With humor, lyricism and candor, this play tests poetry’s capacity to put to words what otherwise feels ineffable.

“It’s a theatrical act of remembrance and a sacrament of grief, but it’s also a comedy…”
