Plowshare Farm, 32 Whitney Drive in Greenfield, will present a reading of "Fire in the Temple: a true story, of the death of Rudolf Steiner" Tuesday, March 21, from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

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 Marie Steiner von Sivers and Dr. ItaWegman, both of whom stood by him until the very day of his death, and beyond.

The reading runs about two hours and 40 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. Fundraising is ongoing for director John McManus to stage a full-scale production, with a cast of 12 actors and eurythmists, in September 2023.

The event is free.
