Robert Frost’s New Hampshire

Robert Frost’s New Hampshire

March 15 – 24 

Pontine Theatre premieres Robert Frost’s New Hampshire.  Performances are Fridays @7pm, Saturdays @3pm and Sundays @2pm at the historic 1845 Plains Schoolhouse, One Plains Avenue, in Portsmouth NH’s  West End.  Pontine Co-Artistic Directors, Greg Gathers & Marguerite Mathews, will perform original stagings of five early poems by Robert Frost, a long-time summer resident of Derry and Franconia NH. Frost’s first of four Pulitzer Prizes was awarded in 1924 for his volume: “New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes.” Known for his New England settings, his down to earth, stark depictions of the difficulties of rural farm life, and his use of colloquial speech, Robert Frost is widely admired as a true American Master. Harriet Munroe, publisher and editor of “Poetry,” wrote that “perhaps no other poet in our history has put the best of the Yankee spirit into a book so completely.” She notes that while Frost’s narrative, character-based poems are often dark and satirical, Frost always has a “sympathetic humor” towards his subjects.  This production is supported by grants from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. Tickets are $32 and may be purchased in advance online at www.pontine.org. The space is fully accessible with free parking adjacent.  Information:  info@pontine.org / 603-436-6660.
