Full length, 33 characters, 14M/11F/8E, with doubling. It is possible to perform Poet's Wake with as few as 6 actors. We are at the wake of a Poet Laureate. Mourners come and go, delivering monologues. We learn, through the mourners, about the life of the poet and about the mourners themselves. Some define us by the people in our lives. The life of the celebrity after death is too often defined by those who are left behind. Some have axes to grind. Some speak out of ignorance. Although each may believe they are telling the truth, but it is the teller's truth-truth is subjective. The artist's work is too often overshadowed by the tales and the writings of the survivors. In the end we must discover, uncover or simply choose and decide the truth ourselves. The truth of others and the truth of oneself is, perhaps, merely a matter of perception. Poet's Wake might even show us a bit of truth about ourselves.
