CURLEW THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS

The Muse & Mister Yeats

A play for Voices
Two Actors: Many Voices

Curlew Theatre Company of Connemara offer, in this 80th anniversary year of Yeats’s death, their Play for Voices: The Muse & Mister Yeats. The play dramatises, in the voices of the poet’s ‘muses’ themselves, a sense of what lay behind many of Yeats’s most famous poems.

Performed by Tegolin Knowland and Sean Coyne; the play is written and directed by Eamon Grennan. Eamon is a poet and former Professor of English at Vassar College. “Tegolin Knowland makes the women who inspired many of Yeats’ poems come alive before our eyes. Experiencing the poetry through the prism of these extraordinary women makes the poetry – and the poet – accessible as never before. An entertaining and educational piece of theatrical magic.” Joseph Hassett.
