Spoon River Rochester
Devised by Method Machine
Method Machine’s production of Spoon River uses the complete text of Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology, a haunting collection of 244 free-form poems narrating the epitaphs of deceased citizens of the fictional small town of Spoon River. A cast of hundreds creates costumes and characters based on their poems to create a living graveyard for the audience.
The debut performance of SPOON RIVER ROCHESTER was a headliner at the Rochester Fringe Festival in 2014.

God has abandoned Heaven. It's 1985: the Reagans are in the White House and Death swings the scythe of AIDS. Set in New York City, the play details the connected lives of distant individuals as they battle love, life, and death.
Produce in 2012 at Geva Theater Center’s Nextstage in Rochester, NY.
