A Play is a Poem
By Ethan Coen
Directed by Neil Pepe
Atlantic Stage 2
Postponed until further notice
If the audience laughs, it’s a comedy. If they nod with new understanding, it’s a drama. If they laugh and nod but can’t say why it’s funny or what they’ve understood, it might be A Play is a Poem, the new collection of one-acts by Academy Award winner Ethan Coen.

Please note: The status of the remainder of our 2019/2020 season remains unclear at this time. A Play is a Poem was scheduled to begin performances on May 14, but it has become clear that it will be delayed. However, given the ever-changing circumstances and guidelines, we are not certain how long that delay will last. As soon as we have determined when it is safe to open the show, we will contact all ticket holders and make arrangements for ticket exchanges, donations, etc. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience and grace; it is much appreciated.
In association with Center Theatre Group.
A Play is a Poem is made possible, in part, by leadership support from The Laura Pels International Foundation for Theater.
