Sponsored by the NH Humanities Council, we are proud to offer the Pontine Theatre's presentation of Silver Lake Summers, which explores the life of E.E. Cummings. An American poet and painter, he was a life-long summer resident of Silver Lake, NH in the town of Madison in Carroll County. His home, Joy Farm, is on the National Historic Register and Harvard University is home to a large collection of his letters, diaries, manuscripts, notebooks and sketchbooks. These materials form a basis for this show which includes scenes from their full length play and featuring remarks about the poet's special connection to New England, along with slides of historic photos and his paintings.
Co-Directors of Pontine Theatre Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers are the creators and performers of this presentation. Together they offer a theatre of astonishing dramatic and visual integrity.
