Claire: The two poets meet on a beach. Light blazes off the water
behind them. In their exile, they embrace. And I have been the lover
of one, and am the lover of the other…We will become magnificent.
We will find out how to live and love without fear…
…And so begins the passionate, volatile triangular relationship
between Claire, her half-sister Mary, and Percy Bysshe Shelley,
the greatest poet of the Romantic era. Add to this experiment the
outrageous Lord Byron, described by one lover as 'Mad, bad, and
dangerous to know,' and you have Bloody Poetry, the captivating
story of their unusual Romantic quest for a modern Utopia.
In October, David Travis directs Bloody Poetry and re-captures
the spirit of these daring 'free-lovers' and 'free-livers' in a
visually stunning production, featuring the extraordinary design
and inspired, bold performances you have come to expect from a Synapse
production.
DON'T MISS this unforgettable evening of poetry, scandal and passion.
This newsletter is filled with tidbits on our upcoming productions
and other events we have in the works. So read on, and enjoy!
