Four Quartets

One of the best works by T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets directed by Ralph Fiennes is about to hit your theatres soon in a world premiere adaptation. Four Quartets comprises four sets of poems - Burnt Norton, East Coker, The Dry Salvages, and Little Gidding. Written during World War II, Eliot’s Four Quartets are interlinked with a common theme of man and his relationship with time, the universe, and spiritual enlightenment.

The creative team of Four Quartets includes Christopher Shutt (sound), Hildegard Bechtler (design), Tim Lutkin (lighting), Eva Sampson (assistant director), and Fin Walker (movement director).

Watch the compelling performance of Ralph Fiennes as he brings Eliot’s poems to life on stage. He is a revered actor who has worked in several notable films such as Schindler’s List, Harry Potter series, Maid in Manhattan, and more. Ralph is also a Tony award winner for his theatre role as Hamlet and has worked in many iconic productions over the years.

The Story

Four Quartets is one of the best works of T.S. Eliot that also played a role in the poet winning the Nobel Prize for literature. With these four poems, Eliot wished to bring serious concerns to the stage. The poems talk about life and death, beginnings and end, including the poet’s original trauma.

Burnt Norton talks about time and how the present is only what matters as the past cannot be changed and the future is uncertain. East Coker focuses on life and death and how it is a cycle. The Dry Salvages talked about a connection with mankind and how one can experience eternity by a few moments of revelation. Little Gidding also focuses on time and humanity and how Eliot helped the world as a poet.

Since Eliot was a fire warden during World War II while writing the poems, you can see glimpses of his emotional state in his works.
