Dead Poets Society

Why see Dead Poets Society?

make your lives extraordinary

SNL alum Jason Sudeikis stars as inspiring teacher John Keating in this new stage presentation of the critically acclaimed and much-loved film of the same name. Adapted from his own Academy Award winning screenplay by Tom Schulman, it's the moving tale of an unorthodox English teacher and how he uses poetry and literature to encourage his devoted students to break the boundaries of their strict prep school education and discover a life less ordinary.

Released in 1989, the movie starred Robin Williams in a career defining performance as Keating who prescribes celebration of life and passion at a stuffy boys boarding school in the late 1950s. As his students follow his advice, they discover more about themselves and their place in the world, taking Keating's words to heart and truly learning to to 'Seize the day'.

Much anticipated, this world premiere production is a must for fans of absorbing, life-affirming theatre that sticks with you long after you leave the auditorium.
