[Classifieds] April 23-28 - Earth Day and Poetry Month all rolled up in one Boston show

[MBL Classifieds]

Next week in Boston, April 23-28! If you love poetry, theatre, the environment, and laughter, and you want to see an incredible actor carry off an entire one-person show that zips along 'til you are surprised it's over, consider going up to Boston to see "Robert Frost: This Verse Business" next week at the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA (527 Tremont St.)  https://www.bostontheatrescene.com/shows-and-events/robert-frost-this-verse-business/

Emmy-winner (NYPD Blue), IRNE-winner (Man in the Ring), and Tony-nominee Gordon Clapp stars as poet Robert Frost, who “barded” around the country for nearly 50 years giving sold-out talks to mixed crowds of poetry readers and non-readers alike. Arguably the nation’s first superstar poet, he quipped, “What began in obscurity is ending in a blaze of publicity.” A beguiling rascal on the platform, the poet “re-lives” his verse from memory, relates his “wild surmises” on science, politics, and religion, and speaks to the purpose and meaning of art. Then, inviting us home, he drops his mask, shares losses and regrets, considers the sources of his poetic inspiration, and picks up his pencil.

“A seamless piece of theatre which Clapp delivers with authentic New England wit and charm…a must see!” – Broadway World
“The power of poetry and the art of acting are on exquisite display … Gordon Clapp’s performance as the great American poet Robert Frost is a revelation.” — David Strathairn
