⭐ RALPH FIENNES TO DIRECT & STAR IN A WORLD PREMIERE ADAPTATION OF T.S. ELIOT’S FOUR QUARTETS ⭐
Ralph Fiennes will direct and star in a world premiere adaptation of T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets, it has been announced.
Compelling, moving and symphonic, Four Quartets was the culminating achievement of T.S. Eliot’s career as a poet, offering four interwoven meditations on the nature of time, faith, and the quest for spiritual enlightenment. Mostly written during WWII when the closure of playhouses during the Blitz interrupted Eliot’s work in theatre, the four parts (Burnt Norton, East Coker, The Dry Salvages and Little Gidding) were the culminating achievement of Eliot’s Nobel Prize winning literary career.
Fiennes is joined by a remarkable creative team including Hildegard Bechtler (Designer) who won an Olivier Award for After the Dance at the National Theatre; Tim Lutkin (Lighting), winner of an Olivier Award for Chimerica and Christopher Shutt (Sound), winner of a Tony Award for War Horse.
A Theatre Royal Bath Productions and Royal & Derngate, Northampton co-production, Four Quartets will reopen the Theatre Royal Bath, playing from 25th May – 5th June, and also launches Royal & Derngate’s Made in Northampton season from 8th – 12th June.
The show will then tour to Oxford Playhouse (14th – 26th June) and Cambridge Arts Theatre (28th June – 10th July), with further regional touring dates to be announced.
Fantastic! ! !
