Joyrich invites Oberons to Nov. 10, 2011 meeting

By

Dear Oberon,
 
It's time for another Oberon meeting! Yes, I know that we just had one two weeks ago, but it must be so. The meeting will be this coming Thursday at the Farmington Hills Library on 12 Mile Road at 6:45 PM.
 
This will be the final time we will be meeting at this location (unless someone who lives or works in Farmington Hills will step up and commit to being present at EVERY meeting), so don't miss your chance to participate in a historic occasion (it will be like the last game at Tiger Stadium, well, maybe not).
 
Tom Townsend will be reprising the excellent presentation he did at the recent Joint Conference in Washington, DC on Romeo and Juliet. Trust me, after seeing this presentation you will never look at this play the same way again.
 
We will discuss our plans for meeting in the future (now that we are temporarily homeless). I will, of course, keep all of you informed of any decisions (although it would be better if you were actually THERE at the meeting to hear them).
 
We may also have time to discuss our recent jaunt to the Michigan International Book Fair and the opening of the movie Anonymous and recent reactions to it.
 
All this and more! (maybe).
 
Put it on your calendar RIGHT NOW. Thursday, November 10, 2011, 6:45 PM, Farmington Hills Library
 
See you there!
Richard Joyrich
Oberon Vice-chair

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...

Dudley nails it to the door

By
Michael Dudley author of The Shakespeare Authorship Question and Philosphy: Knowledge, Rhetoric, Identity (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2023) Michael Dudley views his vocation of librarian at the University of Manitoba with dialectic rigor. "Librarianship has a duty to inform democracy," he said in Kathryn Sharpe's virtual bookclub on April 27, 2024. 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...
