There's no place on earth like Poetry City, but when Dolores tries to go, she finds that all roads to Poetry City are paved with banana peels.
The impish gardens of Farnoosh Fathi's poems are given an absurd and musical life in this new play, where each snail, cudgel, and fairygodmother that Dolores meets along the way aspires to more than just being alive. Every waltz brings them one step closer to reaching their higher selves-- or their deaths-- in Poetry City. They won't find out which till they get there.
SPECIAL EVENT!
Audiences were invited to join playwright Darcie Dennigan and poet Farnoosh Fathi for a special conversation about their work and the creation of Dolores Goes to Poetry City Thursday, June 17 at 6pm in the courtyard at Riffraff Bookstore and Bar.
