James Blackstone Memorial Library

Join author and Producing Artistic Director Rebecca Goodheart 
in four fascinating discussions about how the world looked to 
Shakespeare and his audience and how that worldview shaped the plays. 
Each evening will look through a different lens at Shakespeare’s world, 
accompanied by mini-performances of Shakespeare’s poetry and lively 
discussion about their meaning today.
Correspondences –Everything is connected, not metaphorically but in actuality. What happens if we adopt the early modern belief that every thing can be understood by how it corresponds to something else on the great chain of being. Explore Shakespeare’s poetic language that makes King’s into roses and lovers into oysters.
