The Poet’s Refrain
play reading by Michael Cormier
As the Civil War ends, Quaker poet and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier celebrates the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. A pacifist, he justifies his wartime verses as serving the greater good rather than war itself. But when a returning Union soldier tells him his poetry leads men to their deaths, Whittier is thrust into a profound moral and artistic crisis.

It Stops Here

Punctuate4 concludes their play reading series with this historic drama. On the Ohio frontier, a Quaker family asked to shelter fugitives on the Underground Railroad must choose between duty to the law and defiance of slavery—neutrality is no longer an option.

Edgar Allan Poe Double Header
An imaginative one-person retelling of
The Tell-Tale Heart and The Cask of Amontillado
created and performed by Livy Scanlon*
At turns dark and darkly funny, this 60-minute solo show is staged as a séance, inviting audiences to conjure two of Poe’s most notorious narrators. In The Tell-Tale Heart, a nervous caregiver is driven to madness by an irrational obsession. In The Cask of Amontillado, the aggrieved Montresor lures his rival Fortunato to an untimely fate.
Created and performed by Livy Scanlon. The Edgar Allan Poe Double Header runs at Gloucester Stage from October 24th-26th and at The Hanover Theatre Repertory in Worcester, MA from October 29th-Nov 1st.
