Eulogy: Homage to the Poetry of WH Auden (The New York Years)

Peacock Theatre, Salamanca Arts Centre
April 16, 17
8pm
$7 full/$5 concession

Cavalier Productions and The Hobart Fringe Festival present Eulogy, a play featuring the intense poetry of the famed English poet, WH Auden.

The poems selected come from the late 1930s and early 1940s when Auden lived in New York in a house with an extraordinary collection of friends including Benjamin Britten and Gypsy Rose Lee. These artistic people were trying to create art against the encroaching horrors of war.
It’s only a taste of the work of a man who wrote from the heart, reaching deep into the souls of everyone who has loved and loves life.

Directed by Dan Graham (BA, MCA (theatre) Utas), and created in collaboration with Dan and Adam Ouston it will be performed by Martin Blackwell over two nights at The Peacock Theatre in the Salamanca Arts Centre.
