The Parliament of Poets

Celebrating Our Common Humanity

Appalled by fascism and oligarchy on Mother Earth, Apollo calls all the poets of the nations to the moon to teach them how to create peace.

The 100-minute solo performance features musical interludes, literary and cosmic projections.

“A memorable invocation began the show and, like a rocket, The Poet of the Moon is propelled into the Cosmos. With a long wooden staff, Glaysher appears like Prospero, a lasting call for peace and unity, a unique type of optimism.” —Theater Pizzazz, Off-Broadway Review, NYC
