Shakespeare 4
Our Group meets in each other’s homes on the second and fourth Thursday afternoon of each month from 2.00pm to 4.00pm. We read our chosen play and discuss the plot, characters, language, historical setting and how the play often resonates with modern life. We also watch different recordings of the plays, which can often provoke lots of discussion. We have enjoyed theatre trips to both professional and amateur productions and to live screenings at local cinemas. Over the past few years, we have performed extracts from the plays to celebrate the Bard’s birthday at the Oundle Library. None of us claims to be an expert on Shakespeare – we are simply keen to develop our appreciation and understanding of the Bard and to share our views and observations in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
