Four Clowns to Bring SUBLIMITY to LA & NYC

SUBLIMITY features David Bridel in the role of tormentEd English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, focusing, in particular, on that fateful evening in 1797 when he composed his famous pre-romantic masterpiece, Kubla Khan. Exploring the tragicomic character of Coleridge - part tender fool, part opium addict - SUBLIMITY uses many of the poet's own words to explore the nature of creativity and inspiration.
