Anthony Zerbe: It's All Done With Mirrors April 30, 2011

Poet E.E. Cummings turns highbrow to lowbrow in a heartbeat in poetry that captures the beauty of the natural world while skewering the perversity of the human one. Emmy award winning actor, Anthony Zerbe slides the antic spirit of Cummings' poetry into smart and witty theatre as he moves pell mell through a parade of characters, accents and dazzling word play. Zerbe gives riveting, rapid fire life to carnival barkers hawking sex and imagination, the Cambridge ladies staunch in their faith and malice, men who talk the talk about war and the boys who actually walk it, young men who can resist neither falling in love or growing old and a writer who finds in the danger of the circus the perfect metaphor of his art. An uncommon evening of theatre!
