Swift to My Wounded
Cultures in Motion Performance |
| |
In this evening's performances, held at the National Theatre, Bill Largess brings Whitman to life through the poet's own journals and poetry. The great American poet Whitman lived and worked in Washington, D.C., from 1863 to 1873, and cared for the sick and injured Union soldiers during the Civil War in the National Historic Landmark Building (where the Portrait Gallery is now housed). The script for this program was dramatically adapted by Portrait Gallery staff member E. Warren Perry Jr.
Note: Seating is limited. Tickets are required and are distributed 30 minutes before the performance, on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, call 202-783-3372.
