Dead Poets Society

Based on the film by Touchstone Pictures, written by Tom Schulman. German adaptation by Joern Hinkel and Tilman Raabke.

Tradition, honour, discipline, excellence - these are the four founding principles that have always been taught at Welton Academy. Everything changes when young English teacher John Keating arrives and begins to shake up the rigid traditions of the boys' boarding school. Through unconventional lessons, he encourages his students to develop their own identities and embrace the motto "Carpe Diem! Seize the day!". When his student Neil learns of the mysterious "Dead Poets Society" - a secret club Keating himself once belonged to - he decides to bring it back to life.

Originally produced by Classic Stage Company, with special permission from Adam Zotovich.
