John O'Keefe's Adaptation of Walt Whitman's Song of Myself
2007
"It's the sort of event that makes you wonder, after sitting through it, how you ever lived without it."
- Michael Feingold, Village Voice
Internationally acclaimed playwright, director, and solo performer, John O'Keefe has adapted "Song of Myself" into a dramatic tour de force poised between a straight recitation and an imaginative interpretation. Walt Whitman celebrated the moment, the special grandeur of everyday life - of breathing, of being, of ordinary things. O'Keefe's performance captures the spirit and music of Whitman's words so that every image and nuance is viscerally immediate and easily accessible to the modern ear.
