Dead Poets Live: Three Ages Of Yeats

Dead Poets Live return to The Coronet to lay the ghost of W. B. Yeats to rest with its verbatim retelling of his mystical life and work.

The poetry of W. B. Yeats arrived with the last wave of Romanticism and endured through the backwash of Modernism. It remained of its moment, yet out of step—much like Yeats himself, whose life was both intimately of its age and supremely out of time. He was guided by a mystical (and often mystifying) inner world: a deeply personal vision of history, symbol, and myth that inspired much of his work, which he continued to enlarge and renew throughout his life.
