1st Thursday in month, 2.00 – 4.00pm (Check dates)
Venue: St Edmund’s Hall, Glastonbury
Leader: Julie Hillman
A typical session consists of reading our chosen play aloud interspersed with lively discussion. This time around we have chosen All’s Well That Ends Well, it is a comedy written mid-career with a story line borrowed from the Decameron. At some stage during the term we watch a film of the play on DVD, often a production selected for its close reproduction of the original text, but sometimes a more cinematic version.
Week 2, Monday, 2.00 – 4.00pm
Venue: Mission Church, Street.
Leader: Julie Hillman
Reading Greek Tragedy (in English)
Tragedy in our Time, as Greek Tragedy is timeless and yet for all time. Because of this we spend a lot of time in our sessions talking about what we have read and how it finds echoes in our lives.
Week 2, Wednesday 10.00am – 12.00pm
Venue: Baltonsborough Church Room
Leader: Jennifer Westcott
