Upon the occasion of its centenary and on the same stage that Eliot himself read from the poem at a 92NY appearance in December 1950, Ralph Fiennes will read T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Last year, Fiennes toured the U.K. with a performance of Eliot’s Four Quartets. His poetry is “endlessly mysterious, but I think there are also ways of speaking it that are conversational and accessible,” Fiennes said at the time. “Eliot has not been a focus in the theatre for a while. In his writing there is a religiosity, or questions of faith, which perhaps is unfashionable. I love Eliot’s poetry and want to enable it to be heard.” Ralph Fiennes Reads The Waste Land Details & Tickets
