The Waste Land: An Evening of T.S. Eliot

Actor Nathaniel Parker performs T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land and The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock in an evening of poetry at Oxford Playhouse.

Nathaniel Parker performs T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, published in 1922 and often read as a response to the devastation of the First World War, alongside The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. The evening offers a contextual introduction to the poem and its creator, with director Giles Taylor guiding audiences through the poem's references, themes and ideas. Parker, a passionate advocate for poetry, has previously read The Waste Land at the Cheltenham Literature Festival.
