Pontine Theatre's Co-Artistic Directors created a new work based on the early poems of Robert Frost in 2019, which, due to the COVID pandemic, has never been performed before a live audience. The 2023-24 performance series will conclude with its long-delayed premiere.

Frost, a long-time summer resident of Franconia NH, received the first of four Pulitzer Prizes in 1924 for his volume: "New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes." Known for his New England settings, his down to earth, stark depictions of the difficulties of rural farm life, and his use of colloquial speech, Robert Frost is widely admired as a true American Master

Harriet Munroe, publisher and editor of "Poetry," wrote that "perhaps no other poet in our history has put the best of the Yankee spirit into a book so completely." She notes that while Frost's narrative, character-based poems are often dark and satirical, Frost always has a "sympathetic humor" towards his subject.
