Stopping Here

An adaptation of Robert Frost poems
By Lynne Gannon

Stopping Here is a dramatic presentation in a staged reading based on four poems by the beloved poet Robert Frost. These narrative poems were originally published in Frost's collection entitled North of Boston, and while they tell separate, unrelated stories, they are linked by common themes conveying the mystery of human relationships. Their use of dialogue interspersed with descriptive elements make them perfect for a dramatic adaptation which frames Frost's words with an imaginary conversation between the poet and his wife Elinor.
