John Grier has a charmed career--this professor of literature at a renowned university is about to be named Poet Laureate. He owes much of his success to his wife, Diane, who has been aggressively shepherding his pursuits. But when their daughter and her new boyfriend return home for the weekend, hidden secrets are revealed that threaten to destroy the professor's career. Has this esteemed poet plagiarized his life's work? POETIC LICENSE is a biting drama that explores the fall out from the cut-throat, "publish or perish" world of academia. 

POETIC LICENSE features Ari Butler (Fugue  at the Cherry Lane Theater); Geraint Wyn Davies ("24"); Natalie Kuhn (Stop the Virgens at St. Ann's Warehouse); and Liza Vann (Machiavelli at the ArcLight Theater).

The design team includes Jessica Parks (set design); Jill Nagle (lighting design); Patricia E. Doherty (costume design); and John Emmett O'Brien (sound design). The production stage manager is Rose Riccardi.
