Shakespeare lovers can join us on Monday, March 6th, on Zoom, to finish reading the Tragedy of King Richard III.

My father, whose knowledge of literature is even more abstruse than mine, once posed this riddle: What would be the result of a collaboration between Shakespeare, American playwright Arthur Miller and German novelist Thomas Mann?

Answer: Death of a Salesman in Venice (Now you see where I get my sense of humor from.)

A somewhat easier riddle is at the center of our current play, The Merchant of Venice. For the hand of the lovely Portia, the suitor has only to choose between a box made of silver, gold, or lead.

Not obvious which one to pick? Then join us for our reading on Monday, Dec. 19th, on Zoom. We meet at 7pm to watch scenes from the play on video, then start reading ourselves from 7:30pm. Leave a message below if you want an invitation.
