For our National Poetry Month grand finale, join us for an evening with the Bard himself! William Shakespeare, embodied by actor and educator Michael Langlois, will explore the enduring power of his plays and poems, with a special focus on the emotional depth of his sonnets. He will also delve into the historical and cultural context of Elizabethan England, shedding light on the mysteries surrounding the “Fair Youth” and the “Dark Lady" whose identities are hinted at in his writings. Through dramatic readings, attendees will gain insight into his themes of love, time, beauty, and mortality. Whether you are new to Shakespeare or revisiting his work, this performance offers a rich and engaging journey into the heart of his poetic achievements.
