Synopsis: "Set at a rigorous all-boys preparatory school renowned for its ancient traditions, where the unconventional Professor Keating inspires his students to defy conformity, and to live passionately."

The creative team behind Dead Poets Society has also been announced and features scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by Ann Hould-Ward, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, and sound design by Matt Stine.
