T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets – with Sophie Fiennes

About this event

Ralph Fiennes’s exquisite performance of T. S. Eliot's poetic masterpiece is dynamically translated from stage to screen by director Sophie Fiennes ( Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami , The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology ). During the early days of COVID, the Oscar® nominee set himself the challenge of committing Four Quartets to memory, and in 2021 he brought it to the London stage, followed by a tour of theatres across the UK. Written by Nobel Prize winner T.S. Eliot in the shadow of the Second World War, the poem is a searching examination of who and what we are. This celebrated meditation on human experience, time, and the divine offers up questions, imagery, and emotions that bear a powerful relevance to our present day. Join film and theatre critic Alex Heeney and director Sophie Fiennes for a virtual post-screening Q&A. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE
