Late Fame at Triskel Arts Centre, 4-7 Oct. Ed is an old, forgotten New York poet who works in the post office. After a fan finds him, he falls in with a group of young affluent poets. He loves the attention but must reckon with their authenticity.
Ed Saxberger (Willem Dafoe) is a forgotten New York poet who works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer (Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention - and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group’s “tragic heroine” (Greta Lee) - Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle.
