Edna St. Vincent Millay Was Working Some Stuff Out
Dark Star Art Bar 756 E. Washington Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
In the early 20th century, the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay was a phenomenon, widely followed for both her literary works and her uninhibited personal life. The Falconbridge Players will give theatrical readings of two of Millay's plays, Two Slatterns and a King and Aria da Capo, and some of her poems. Expect lots of rhyme, and traditional forms turned upside down.
media release: Don’t be fooled by her genteel name and New England base of operations. As early 20th century poet/playwrights go, Edna St. Vincent Millay was a cynic and a stone-cold killer—metaphorically speaking.
Falconbridge Players presents a dramatic workshop of two of her short plays:
Two Slatterns and a King – Don’t judge a book by its cover. And when someone tells you who they are: believe them.
Aria da Capo – A “bitterly ironic little fantasy” about territory, war, murder, and the quest for life-sustaining macaroons.
Plus selections from her extensive library of poetry. For fans of Dorothy Parker, non-realism, or mayhem.
Performed live Tuesday, May 24, at 7 PM at Dark Horse ArtBar, 756 E. Washington St, Madison. Free and open to the public.
