A dramatic reading by Glen Williamson and Laurie Portocarrero.

Crafted from actual events and discourse, Fire in the Temple dramatizes Rudolf Steiner’s final months and brings to the stage the people around him, including two extraordinary women, Marie Steiner von Sivers and Dr. Ita Wegman, both of whom stood by him until the very day of his death - and beyond. Their personal conflicts, hopes and sorrows are sensitively portrayed in this rigorously researched drama.

The reading runs about two hours and forty minutes, including a 10-minute intermission.

Laurie Portocarrero and Glen Williamson, with eurythmists Sea-Anna Vasilas and Zachary Dolphin, have been developing this play – through numerous revisions and staged readings – for several years. Funding is now being raised for director John McManus to stage a full-scale production, with a cast of twelve actors and eurythmists, in September 2023.
