Elizabeth Siddall

Elizabeth Siddal

On Sunday 25 July 1999, trAce members joined poet and playwright Kim Morrissey in celebrating the birthday of Elizabeth Siddal, Pre-Raphaelite poet, artist, model and wife of D.G. Rossetti. After cutting the birthday cake, Kim Morrissey, author of 'Clever As Paint' (a re-examination of the life of Elizabeth Siddal) led a discussion of issues around Women and Poetry. The log of this party can be found at http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/online/siddal.htm


A steering group for next year's birthday party is now being put together: if you'd like to get involved, email Kim Morrissey at KMorrisse@aol.com

Kim's play includes texts of complete poems by Elizabeth Siddal, and is posted at http://members.aol.com/playscript/Morrissey.htm.

'Clever As Paint' was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1998. The Cornish Theatre Collective toured a stage production in the UK in July 1999, directed by Rosie Hughes and with original music by Elizabeth Parker.
