Your Turn To Speak by Lady Red Ego Eugenio Montale Starting with the dead

Starting with the dead

The poem draws on material from Gill's letters

and an abiding fascination for all art forms

suitcases full of whipped cream

Your Turn To Speak by Lady Red Ego Eugenio Montale Starting with the deadYour Turn to Speak! gathers classical lovers into a room and encourages them to speak one by one. Zeus, Hera, Patroclus, Achilles, Aphrodite and Medea take to the stage and forge their dramatic monologues, while Sappho broods and whispers fragmented asides from the front row of the stalls. Together, they dissect the DNA of the love poem, in all its tragedy and comedy. Ultimately, we readers may begin to hear our own voices speak through the actors.
