July 2022 Community Close-Reads:
The Winter’s Tale: Ongoing Community Close-Read
produced by iRead Shakespeare; sessions lead by Dr. Robin Williams
Details: 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. June 4 (and ongoing every Saturday morning); Online over Zoom
$6 per session, Click the link to RSVP
The Winter’s Tale is a beautiful, disturbing, and charming play with plot lines of terrible tragedy and antic comedy. It begins with a royal marriage gone wrong, the horrifying madness of King Leontes, and seemingly irreparable consequences, shifting abruptly to music and foolery and a potentially tragic pastoral love story. The two parts come together in an astonishing end.
The group reads very slowly and carefully, and with much discussion. “It’s fascinating to see what shows up on a close read that otherwise gets glossed over.” No one is required to read—feel free to come along and just join the discussion.
