Jeremy Irons Reads T.S. Eliot At 92Y

Seventy-five years after the publication of "Four Quartets" - and nearly 70 years since T. S. Eliot himself read from the poem in his 92nd Street Y Poetry Center debut - Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons returns to 92Y's stage to present the masterwork in its entirety.

This special event coincides with the awarding of the inaugural Four Quartets Prize, presented by the T. S. Eliot Foundation in association with the Poetry Society of America, as well as the CD release of Irons reading all of Eliot's poems.

According to Faber & Faber: "Four Quartets" is the culminating achievement of T.S. Eliot's career as a poet. While containing some of the most musical and unforgettable passages in twentieth-century poetry, its four parts, 'Burnt Norton', 'East Coker', 'The Dry Salvages' and 'Little Gidding', present a rigorous meditation on the spiritual, philosophical and personal themes which preoccupied the author. It was the way in which a private voice was heard to speak for the concerns of an entire generation, in the midst of war and doubt, that confirmed it as an enduring masterpiece.

92nd Street Y is a center for the arts and innovation, a convener of ideas, and an incubator for creativity. Founded in 1874, it seeks to create, provide and disseminate programs of distinction that foster the physical and mental growth of people throughout their lives. Through its programs in New York and beyond - including the award-winning #GivingTuesday - it is transforming the way people share ideas and translate them into action all over the world. 92Y is built on a foundation of Jewish values, including the capacity of civil dialogue to change minds; the potential of education and the arts to change lives; and a commitment to welcoming and serving people of all ages, races, religions and ethnicities.
