Program Description

Event Details

Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers of all time, but maybe not for the reasons we think.  Most of his plays were written for two audiences- the uneducated masses and the educated elite.  Even his most serious plays have hidden jokes and wit scattered throughout.  We will examine several of his great works to uncover the many possible meanings of his stories and discuss whether Shakespeare would even recognize his own plays as they are performed today.  You do not need to have read the plays to participate just come with a curious mind.

This program is designed primarily for adults; however teens age 15 and up are also welcome to attend. Space is limited and registration is required.

Note: The program will be hosted in Zoom, a video conference software that is free for participants. Zoom meeting details will be sent to registrants the day before the program. The Zoom video conference is considered a virtual Library facility. Participants must adhere to the Library Facility Guidelines while attending.
