Knock,
knock, knock! Who's there, i' the name of
Beelzebub? Here's a reader of Shakespearean
texts, an expert in the field: come in
time; have notes enow about you; here
you'll sweat for't.
Knock,
knock! Who's there, in the other devil's
name? Faith, tis a common soul, who
Loves to laugh at the dear Bard’s japes!
O, come in, and join our discussion,
for Shakespeare or Classics!
It is with great pleasure that the Shakespeare discussion group presents its second annual partnership with Classics book discussion group, as we endeavor to watch or read a play so cursed, some dare not speak it’s name! Be not afeard if you’ve not joined either group in the past, as we invite fellows of all ages and areas of expertise to attend our meetings for Macbeth!
On Tuesday, October 31 at 4 PM we will discuss our viewing experience of Macbeth. On Tuesday, November 7 at 7 PM we will discuss our reading experience of Macbeth. Attend one, or both! Read or watch! We come not to judge, only to share our love of the Bard.
Print copies of this play and several productions on DVD will be available for checkout with a library card. Library cardholders also have streaming access to the BBC production on Kanopy – visit cityofportsmouth.com/library/kanopy to connect. Or, watch any of these freely available productions:
