Nigel Stock. Sheila Grant and Ronald Herdman in Time to Be Still by PETER BRENT
' Anger makes waves. Ripples. They unsteady one. The subtle-body is disturbed, like a tree in a storm. It is bad for you., It is bad for me to watch you. You see, we do not always know why we do what we do And sometimes we do not even know what we do.'
Directed by DAVID SPENSER
A Genius Rediscovered.
The American ragtime composer Scott Joplin died 60 years ago in a mental institution believing himself to be a failure. Last year he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. Given annually for drama, letters, music and journalism, this was the first time the prize has been awarded posthumously. At last Joplin's music had achieved the recognition the composer was never to know. Peter Clayton discusses with Peter Gammond (Joplin's biographer) the life and work of this sad and lonely man.
