The Waste Land, probably T.S. Eliot’s most famous poem, was published in 1923. “I very much hope you like the poem, as it seems to me the best I have ever done.”
Full of classical and cultural references, this poem can be viewed as a hymn to the desolation and loss in the aftermath of WWI, but it has great humour and brings a sense of promise and hope to the bleakest of images. The evening will include a contextual preamble to The Waste Land and T.S. Eliot with Nat and director Giles Taylor.
Nathaniel Parker reads The Waste Land and The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock. “I was lucky enough to read the Waste Land at the Cheltenham Literary Festival a while back and fell in love with it. The complexities and characters are thrilling to navigate.” He also performed Four Quartets at Charleston and now reads poetry (almost daily) on his Instagram, @nathanielparker84.
Giles Taylor, actor, director, author, choir master and classicist! Giles and Nat have appeared together on stage in Stratford, Chichester, London and on Broadway. Giles will lead the discussion about the poem, giving the audience an insight into many of the references that the poem is built around.
