October 25-27
The season continues with performances of T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets by guest artist, John Farrell (Director of Freeport, Maine’s Figures of Speech). Mr. Farrell committed to memory the 886 lines of Four Quartets and now tours internationally with his recitation of this epic poem. An unquestioned masterpiece of 20th-century literature, Four Quartets is a complex, deeply moving meditation on time, memory, and human striving toward the divine. Writing at the height of his artistic powers, Eliot packed into Four Quartets a summation of his views on poetry and art, on mystical experience, and on humankind’s relationship to history and time. Performances are Friday 7pm, Saturday @3pm & Sunday @2pm. Purchase tickets at Pontine’s website: www.pontine.org
