FOUR QUARTETS
‘Jeremy Irons Breathes New Life into ‘The Poems of T S Eliot’ The New York Times
Oscar winning actor, Jeremy Irons, will read Four Quartets, the culminating achievement of T.S. Eliot’s Nobel Prize winning poetic career, in support of the New Actors Centre, at its new home at the Marylebone Theatre.
This reading of Four Quartets was first broadcast on Radio 4, it was introduced as: ‘containing some of the most musical and unforgettable passages in twentieth century literature… It was the way in which a private voice was heard to speak for the concerns of an entire generation, in the midst of war and doubt, that confirmed it as an enduring masterpiece.’
Acclaimed actor, Jeremy Irons, found international recognition for his role in the iconic Brideshead Revisited, and the film The French Lieutenant’s Woman with Meryl Streep. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his chilling portrayal of Claus von Bülow in Reversal of Fortune and is part of the select group of performers to achieve the Triple Crown of Acting (Oscar, Emmy, and Tony)
The New Actors Centre is thrilled to be able to share this memorable reading with our members and the Marylebone Theatre audience. We are hugely grateful to Jeremy Irons for his generosity in suppor1ng the NAC as it builds its new home for high quality, affordable and accessible training for professional actors, following the tragic loss of its former home in Tower Street.
The NAC is currently entirely without funding and operates mostly on a volunteer basis. Your support for this unique event is invaluable to us. All proceeds from this event will go towards the New Actors Centre.
“Irons lends himself to what coexists with the voice of judgment: what is hesitant, what feels unattainable and the struggles of a flawed being in ‘Four Quartets.’” The New York Times
