A Touch of the Poet at Pacific Resident Theatre

Burning with the dramatic fire of irreconcilable passions and conflicting dreams, this rarely produced masterpiece is set in a tawdry tavern near Boston on the eve of Andrew Jackson’s election. Irishman Con Melody drowns memories of his former greatness as a soldier and aristocrat in a dangerous stew of alcohol and regret, while his headstrong daughter struggles to win a better future for herself and her long-suffering mother. The play, which the New York Times dubbed “electric,” unleashes volcanic forces in a thrilling, unexpected climax.

A Touch of the Poet opens at 8pm on November 5th and runs at 8pm Thursdays - Saturdays, and at 3pm on Sundays through December 18, 2016.
