Almost 200 years since his death, the radical visionary art and poetry of William Blake still provokes and resonates.This performance centres on Blake’s words, delivered by four extraordinary actors, Julie Christie, Harriet Walter, Will Keen and Khalid Abdalla as well as singer Susheela Raman’s vibrant new musical settings of Blake, performed with co-composer Sam Mills.

The performance also includes work by the acclaimed Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha, including an Arabic translation/translocation of Blake’s much sung ‘Jerusalem’.

In addition, Blake’s visual art appears in an intense visual flow created with image curator Stephen Ellcock and Sam Sharples, video designer for the Welsh National Opera.

With these powerful performers, this event combines poetry, music and art to bring the audience into a raw and immersive encounter with the imagination of William Blake.

This event is made possible by the generous support of the Orange Tree Trust, Elizabeth McKay and others.
