Rosen's acclaimed performance is based on a selection of Keats' writing, including his love letters, love poems, sonnets, and letters to family and friends, "all woven together to tell the extraordinary, very moving and inspiring story of this young genius, his struggles, his great creativity and at the same time his emerging and developing psyche."

The event is followed by a prosecco toast to Keats. Tickets cost €12 and must be purchased in advance, tel. 066784235 or email info@ksh.roma.it. For full details see website.
