Edgy, Great Staging, Great Writing

See it if you like older stories with complicated family dynamics.

Don’t see it if you can't handle quick dialogue with, at times, thick accents. Also portrays alcoholism and maybe a bit of post-war PTSD.

More information about A Touch of the Poet

Proud and tempestuous Cornelius Melody (Con) owns a run-down inn and tavern near Boston in 1828. Laden with debt, Con clings to his tenuous identity as a landed gentleman and war hero and chastises his wife and daughter for actions that expose the family’s humble Irish origins. When his daughter, Sara, falls in love with a wealthy American guest at their inn, Con’s pride drives him to an explosive reckoning with his true place in the New World.
