A Sky Full of Poems
Wednesday, April 7, 7 p.m.
Hamptons Observatory and Guild Hall present A Sky Full of Poems with Dava Sobel, directed by Josh Gladstone. The skies above have moved us to explore, imagine and express ourselves throughout history, so it’s not surprising that such experiences have been eloquently, and sometimes humorously, expressed by poets. In this virtual performance, a trio of gifted actors—Nehassaiu deGannes, Laura Hix and Isaac Klein—will recite a selection of celestially-inspired poems, which will be accompanied by related visuals.
