A staged reading of letters from Elizabeth Bishop to Robert Lowell and back again
The Undermain Theatre continues its popular reading series at the Dallas Museum of Art with this remarkably humorous, lyrical, and moving portrait of love and life adapted by Sarah Ruhl, one of the most celebrated playwrights of our generation. Over thirty years, the poets Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell exchanged more than four hundred letters. One of the greatest correspondences in literary history, their letters illuminate their artistry, world travels, individual triumphs, losses, and the deep affection these two poetic giants shared for one another.
