The Waste Land by TS Eliot
  • The Questors Theatre
    12 Mattock Lane
    Ealing
    W5 5BQ
  • Monday 27th April 7:30pm until 9:30pm
April is the cruellest month... a rehearsed reading
"The finest poem of this generation" "A pompous parade of erudition" "The greatest poem in contemporary literature"  "The thing is a mad medley... so much waste paper."       It's the poem that caused a critical storm and divided opinion when it was first published, but what's it all about? And why, a hundred years on, is it still regarded as one of the greatest poems of the twentieth century?    Experience modern poetry's first masterpiece in a special reading by actors accompanied by musicians playing extracts of the Beethoven String Quartets which Eliot was later inspired by.   After the performance there will be a discussion and Q and A with Mark Ford, Professor of English Literature at University College London and editor of the Library of America edition of the work of T.S. Eliot.
