Undermain Reads Continues at the Dallas Museum of Art Today
The Undermain Theatre continues its popular reading series, Undermain Reads at the Dallas Museum of Art, with Dear Elizabeth by Sarah Ruhl today, June 27th at?2:00 p.m., in the Horchow Auditorium at the Dallas Museum of Art at 1717 North Harwood Street in Downtown Dallas. The reading is FREE to the public.
Dear Elizabeth will be performed as a staged reading in letters from Elizabeth Bishop to Robert Lowell and back again with this remarkably humorous, lyrical, and moving portrait of love and life adapted by Sarah Ruhl, one of the most celebrated playwrights of our generation. Over thirty years, the poets Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell exchanged more than four hundred letters. One of the greatest correspondences in literary history, their letters illuminate their artistry, world travels, their individual triumphs, losses, and the deep affection these two poetic giants shared for one another.
Dear Elizabeth will be directed by Undermain Artistic Associate Dylan Key and will feature Bruce DuBose and Shannon Kearns
Supported in part by The Communities Foundation of Texas
