SUMMARY:Four Quartets: Performance by John Farrell
DESCRIPTION:John Farrell\, co-founder of Figures of Speech Theatre in Freep
 ort\, will recite from memory “Four Quartets”\, by T.S. Eliot\, at the
  Blue Hill Public Library on Wednesday August 22nd at 7:00 PM. The perform
 ance\, part of a 2018 Maine Library Tour by Figures of Speech Theatre\, wi
 ll be followed by an informal conversation with John Farrell.\n\nFirst und
 ertaken in 2011 with permission — rarely granted — from Eliot’s esta
 te\, Farrell’s recitation of “Four Quartets” affords audiences an op
 portunity to immerse themselves in 1\,000 lines of poetry\, a summation of
  T.S. Eliot’s views on poetry and art\, on mystical experience\, and on 
 humankind's relationship to history and time. Eliot completed “Four Quar
 tets” in 1941\, as Britain slid into the abyss of World War II\, and he 
 feared that civilization itself might perish in the coming years.\n\n“Un
 like encountering the poems in a book\,” Farrell says\, “hearing them 
 recited out loud gives people a chance to absorb a complex and nuanced wor
 k in a very direct way. At the same time\, I bring an actor's sensibility 
 to the text and a commitment to delivering the poems in a way that allows 
 the poetry to speak for itself.”\n\nThe tour of “Four Quartets” is g
 enerously supported by the Maine Theater Fund of the Maine Community Found
 ation\, in addition to an Arts &amp\; Humanities grant from the Maine Huma
 nities Council and the Maine Arts Commission\, a statewide nonprofit suppo
 rted by the National Endowment for the Arts. This program is sponsored by 
 the library and Borealis Press\, and is free and open to everyone. For mor
 e information call the library at 374-5515.
