SUMMARY:Homage to Henry: A Dramatization of John Berryman's the Dream Songs
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Homage to Henry: A Dramatization of John Berryman's the Dream Songs=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441599045=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2012-05-16=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2012-05-16=0D=0A=0D=0AJohn Berryman's masterpiece, The Dream Songs, has been described as containing a 'wild mixture of high lyricism and low comedy [which] plumbed the extreme reaches of a human soul and psyche.' But its 'wrenched syntax, scrambled diction, [and] extraordinary leps of language and tone' can confound readers. Homage to Henry transforms the poems into a more accessible play and brings to the stage the unforgettable character of Henry, as he encounters wine and women; faculty meetings, fame, andfamily, growing old and searching for God. Poet Paul Mariani, Berryman's biographer, calls Homage to Henry a 'sad and very human story, as stark in its way as anything in Samuel Beckett.'=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:Doors open at 6:30 pm=0D=0A=Show starts at 7:00 pm
