Figures of Speech Theatre

John Farrell memorized T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets –all eight hundred and ninety-one lines of it– in 2011 and now recites this poetic masterwork from memory. The recitation, which lasts one hour and twenty minutes without intermission, affords the audience the opportunity to immerse themselves in Eliot’s language for a truly unique, meditative experience.
