THE SEATTLE PREMIERE

Letters From Max

By Sarah Ruhl

Based on the Book By Sarah Ruhl and Max Ritvo

Directed by Amy Poisson

February 28th - March 23rd, 2025

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…” - The New York Times

Runtime: 2 hours including intermission
