The Lewes Public Library’s Spoken Word Society (LPLSWS) presents Robert Frost’s work in an engaging evening of reader’s theatre. "I have been" Frost wrote, "one acquainted with the night." He understood the ordeal as well as the triumph of the human spirit. Robert Frost coupled poetry and power; for he saw poetry as the means of saving power from itself. When power leads men towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

The reader’s theatre troupe, made up of local talent, is a new component of the LPLSWS program. Join us for a compelling evening of the beauty of Frost’s work in our inaugural performance.

Each individual attending must register.
