“The 1798 Poem That Was Made for 2020 - The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is taking on new meaning during the coronavirus pandemic.” – The Atlantic 

​“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the archetypal journey and it’s the dream-poem of right now.” – The Atlantic 

“The ‘Rime’ is so harrowing and prescient that one might suspect choosing it specifically for the audience of the 2020 pandemic.” -The New Yorker 

“Overwhelming accomplishment in finding modern resonance in the story.  
It feels relevant, theatrical and very producible. Honestly, I was blown away.”
- Joseph Hanreddy (former Artistic Director Milwaukee Repertory Theatre)

Grant's latest play is an adaptation of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic and beloved poem THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER.  A play with music, the adaptation is a dramatic expansion of Coleridge's haunting and enduring masterpiece.  The classic tale springs to life onstage with live musicians and cunning theatricality and throws a timely and sharp focus on the pandemic of 2020.

​THESE GUILDED MONUMENTS, Grant's first play, about Junius, Edwin, and John Wilkes Booth and their one and only performance together in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, takes place in New York on November 25, 1864. Of course little did anyone know that less than five months later John Wilkes Booth would become one the most infamous names in American history with his assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
