Book Discussion on Shakespeare's "The Tempest"

Seymour Library is hosting Michael Langlois for a free evening book discussion on Wednesday August 12th at 6 pm. The doors will open at 5:30 pm for seating and light refreshments.

The play to be discussed will be "The Tempest". The play written about 1610 is one of  Shakespeare's most well known and loved tales and has been an inspiration for many works in literature, music, film and stage adaptions. The play can be seen as encompassing many motifs, themes and commentaries on colonialism, artistic creativity and feminism.

Michael Langlois who will lead the discussion is a theatre artist, lecturer, performer and storyteller. He has directed productions throughout New England, served for twenty years as Artistic Director of Ashford Youth Theatre and more than a decade as Associate Artist with New London's Flock Theatre. Mr. Langlois has directed "The Tempest" as a stage production.

Space is limited and registration is required but the book discussion is free. To enjoy and participate more fully the play should be read. Copies of the book are available for checkout at the Library's circulation desk with a valid library card. You do not have to be a resident of Seymour to register for this book discussion. Registration is handled on a first come-first served basis.
