The Seattle Premier - Letters From Max

A Ritual By Sarah Ruhl
Based on the Book By Sarah Ruhl and Max Ritvo
Directed by Amy Poisson

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.
