For the first session of the new U3A year 2022, we will be taking a look at 2021 Booker winner Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart. There is opportunity for everyone to have their say.
1st Thursday in month, 2.00 – 4.00pm (Check dates)
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.
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.
