Walt Whitman's Secret - a world premiere
the frank is proud to open Presentation House's season with our 2016/17 mainstage show, Walt Whitman's Secret.
Based on the acclaimed novel by George Fetherling, Walt Whitman’s Secret by Sean O’Leary mines the life of the most influential poet in the American canon for insights about creativity, sexuality, relations between the sexes and the often irreconcilable tensions between idealized love and how love actually manifests. Was Whitman – one of history’s most eloquent versifiers on romantic love – himself ever able to attain the kind of love he wrote so forcefully about?
