wonderfully illuminating work. . .a moving performance:” thus did theatre critic Michael Bryant Reiner praise the Blue Heron Theatre production of “Edna St. Vincent Millay: A Celebration of the Artist Through Her Letters and Poetry” in New York last July.

This moving story of the famous poet’s life, loves, hopes and inspiration — told through her own letters and poems by three experienced New York actresses — arrives at The Theatre at Washington this weekend Oct. 24 and 25 after a successful run Off-Broadway.

“Elizabeth Striker, Bobbi Randall and Madigan Ryan all put in powerful performances, breathing new life into Millay’s words,” according to Mr. Reiner. “The result is a uniquely real woman, one whom we grow to care about and suffer with as losses go hand in hand with literary triumphs.”

The humanity of this sensitive woman — the first ever to receive the Pulitzer Prize for poetry — and the moving imagery of her letters and poems warm the heart and linger in one’s memory long after the curtain falls.

Performances at The Theatre are at 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. For ticket information call 6751253. ..
