[NEohioPAL] WordStage presents "Oscar Bram and Walt"

[Tim Tavcar]

When Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" reached British shores, it had a
profound effect on Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker. Both found themselves in
America on separate occasions, and the young writers, each who had
previously corresponded with Whitman, were favored with an audience. Many
subjects were discussed between them; their literary contemporaries, art,
aesthetics, self-promotion, masculinity, and the celebration of the senses
in word and in practice. Using material from contemporary records, personal
letters and newspaper articles, WordStage recreates the substance of these
marvelous meetings between three men of letters at different stages in
their lives and careers.  Featured performers are Brian Westerley as Oscar
Wilde - Stuart Hoffman as Bram Stoker and Tim Tavcar as Walt Whitman.
Musical accompaniment and underscoring performed by violinist       Mary
Beth Ions.
