Blake William
During his life and for many years after he was thought of as mad. His wide ranging skills not only encompassed poetry but bestrode the visual arts too with paintings and printmaking. Unfortunately he could never fit in to what Society expected of him and his attacks on Religion would not have helped. But his work was the true measure of his worth and they, in the main, remain with us today. In our production we have extracts from 'Songs Of Experience' and 'Songs Of Innocence'. Although he lived to be 70 the great bulk of his poetry was completed by the age of 51.
Our selections are read by the remarkable Sir Ralph Richardson. One of the grandees of English Film and Theatre.
