Unlaunch’d Voices, an Evening With Walt Whitman

Reviews

Directing, acting, and all of the technical aspects must come together successfully to create a satisfactory whole and here they do. Thanks to Keamy’s sympathetic direction and Collins’ strongly created and engaging persona, the audience comes away from the one and one-half hour play interested in and affectionately disposed to Walt Whitman. Anyone interested in knowing more about this great figure from America’s past should enjoy an evening with "Unlaunch’d Voices ..."

A serenely acted one-man show "Unlaunch'd Voices" starring Shakespearean actor Stephen Collins hosted by the indefatigable producer Wendy Bidstrup proved a meticulously mounted showcase.

By the end of the play, the audience comes away feeling as if they know Whitman, feeling as if they have just had a conversation with the poet.
