Poetry Month: Dead Poets Society Screening with Peter Weir

Join us for a special screening for Australian Poetry Month with an introduction by Peter Weir and Artistic Director of Red Room Poetry David Stavanger.

A new English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams), is introduced to an all-boys preparatory school that is known for its ancient traditions and high standards. He uses unorthodox methods to reach out to his students, who face enormous pressures from their parents and the school. With Keating's help, students Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke) and others learn to break out of their shells, pursue their dreams and seize the day.
