Shakespeare Reading Group -- first meeting 1 p.m. Nov. 23 at Plymouth District Library

By
From Prashant Andrade, SE MI Shakespeare Reading Group founder:

Would you like to be part of a group that is trying to understand themselves, human nature and the world we live in better?

Would you like to have fun, companionship and recapture some of that loss of community that everyone seems to complain about?

And all this for free? In these cost-conscious times? Yes!

We will meet once a month (on a Saturday or Sunday) or more frequently if the group members wish (at the Plymouth District Library). The first meeting will be at 1 p.m. November 23 in the Waldorf Room of the Plymouth District Library. We'll read the Scottish play.

What the group will do:
Spend most of the meeting reading a play aloud with assigned parts in a supportive non-judgmental atmosphere (following the method of Dr. Gareth Morgan of the University of Texas/Austin Sunday Shakespeare Group)

What the group may do:
Watch films or recordings of the plays and attend performances at the Michigan Shakespeare Festival and Stratford
Set up Shakespeare reading groups in local prisons and schools

For updates, see Shakespeare Reading Group blog. Please call Prashant Andrade at 734-416-9834 or e-mail him at FEA_123@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Dudley discussed his new book The Shakespeare Authorship Question and Philosophy: Knowledge, Rhetoric, Identity published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing last fall. Update 08/21/24 Dudley's book is also available as an ebook from   Google Play . In SAQ and Philosophy Dudley uses the hammer of logic to nail his accusations against the barricaded door of the Shakespeare citadel. "The question of Shakespeare's authorship is a malformed debate practiced in an unethical fashion," Dudley said. When asked why his book is important, Dudley said: "What sets my book apart from others on the authorship quest...

What's a popp'rin' pear?

By
James Wheaton reported yesterday in the Jackson Citizen Patriot that the Michigan Shakespeare Festival high school tour of Romeo and Juliet was criticized for inappropriate content -- " So me take issue with sexual innuendoes in Michigan Shakespeare Festival’s High School Tour performances of ‘Romeo & Juliet’" : Western [High School] parent Rosie Crowley said she was upset when she heard students laughing about sexual content in the play afterwards. Her son didn’t attend the performance Tuesday because of another commitment, she said.  “I think the theater company should have left out any references that were rated R,” Crowley said. “I would say that I’ve read Shakespeare, and what I was told from the students, I’ve never read anything that bad.”  She said she objected to scenes that involved pelvic thrusting and breast touching and to a line in which Mercutio makes suggestive comments to Romeo after looking up the skirt of a female. The problem with cutting out...
