I’m writing from the Australian Theatre for Young People in Sydney, where I head new writing programmes. We have recently produced a short film called Bat Eyes, inspired by and featuring the WB Yeats poem ‘When you are old and grey’. The filmlooks at the awkwardness of first love and the power of poetry to clarify life’s experiences. The film is based on an original monologue by Sydney-based playwright Jessica Bellamy, who is a huge Yeats fan and who has attended the Yeats summer school in Sligo.
We have also just been selected by YouTube in their global film festival, so if you could consider sharing the voting link (here), too, that would be great.
