This week the Shelley 200 reading series draws to a close with a newly announced performance in Siena. On the 200th anniversary of Shelley’s ashes being laid to rest in Rome, the tour, which also took in the historic Keats-Shelley House, will conclude with a final reading at the British Institute in Florence 26 April.
As this work settles another commemorative piece comes alive. Body 115 is a mini verse-drama, a tale of inner and outer journeys in explicit homage to Dante’s Divine Comedy and will run at the Hope Theatre 5-13 May.
