Select area libraries and the critically acclaimed Writers’ Theater of Glencoe partner together to give you an insider’s view of the Writers’ Theater fall production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Why Hamlet in 2012? Family betrayal, the thirst for power, and the wide array of complex and vacillating emotions of this classic tragedy rival any modern reality show. Francesca Royster, DePaul University professor and Shakespeare scholar, will lead a lively and interactive discussion on the play’s relevance for today’s audiences, as well as on Hamlet’s extraordinary film history. Whether you can make it to the theater or not, enjoy this special theatrical exploration at your library.
