AMERICAN THEATRE: In two new plays now running Off-Broadway, the work of the directors is particularly instrumental and effective: In Letters From Max, a ritual, Sarah Ruhl’s memoir of her time mentoring and befriending a cancer-doomed young poet named Max Ritvo (at Signature Theatre through March 26), three performers inhabit a space that is unequal parts poetry reading, memory play, and in-the-moment medical drama, and director Kate Whoriskey’s sensitive, fine-grained work is evident everywhere.
