John Farrell Brings FOUR QUARTETS to Skidompha Library, 11/15 & 16
John Farrell returns to the Heartwood Theater with his acclaimed staged recitation of T.S. Eliot's poetic masterwork, November 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. at Skidompha Library.
In 2007, actor and poet John Farrell set out to accomplish a goal he had dreamed of for a quarter century. Over a three-year period, Farrell committed to memory the text of T.S. Eliot's crowning poetic achievement, Four Quartets, a complex, deeply moving meditation on the human spirit, time, memory, and human striving toward the divine. Under the direction of Heartwood Theater's Griff Braley, and with special permission from the Eliot Estate, Farrell transformed an inner vision into a staged recitation which affords audiences an opportunity to immerse themselves in these 1,000 lines of poetry, spoken from memory, and renew their understanding of one the 20th century's most exceptional poets.
John Farrell graduated from Yale with a degree in American Indian history and briefly attended the University of Maine Law School before choosing to be an artist. He co- founded Figures of Speech Theatre with his wife Carol.
Tickets: $12 general admission. For more information visit the Heartwood Theater Company website. To purchase tickets call the box office at (207) 563-1373.
