Full production description

Director and screenwriter Billy Wilder said, on his 92nd birthday, “I think I wasted my eighties.” Motivated by Wilder’s disclosure as he approached his own eighth decade, actor and director Leigh Lawson (Tess, The Duchess of Duke Street, Brother Sun, Sister Moon) embarked on a quest to assemble some of his previously unpublished poems, written during an astonishing sixty-year career. In this special performance, Lawson reveals the remarkable stories behind the poems, exploring memory, resilience, love and the unexpected ways we find meaning in the lives we've lived. Funny, moving and quietly profound, his poems trace a journey from a difficult childhood to a celebrated career, capturing the moments, memories and people that shaped him.
