ANNOUNCING
The American premiere of
SIXTEEN WORDS FOR WATER (a play about Ezra Pound)
by Billy Marshall Stoneking.
Directed by Byam Stevens
with a Tony-award-winning cast.
Opens 5th July, 2000,
at the Miniature Theatre of Chester, Massachusetts (in the Berkshires).
1958 - St. Elizabeth's, a hospital for the criminally insane. Ezra Pound,
indicted in 1943 for making anti-American broadcasts over Italian radio,
pled insanity, and has spent the last 13 years incarcerated. Faced with the
ultimate choice - prove himself sane and face trial and a possible death
sentence, or maintain his insanity and remain at St. Elizabeth's, he is
confronted with a curious yet strangely familiar Aboriginal myth. A witty
and dramatic examination of a man torn between the wealth of his imagination
and the poverty of his politics. A hit in both England and Australia, now in
the U.S. for the first time.
