Capital Classics Theatre Company to Return to West Hartford Library with Shakespeare Book Club

The Capital Classics Theatre Company returns to the Noah Webster Public Library in West Hartford for the fourth "semester" of its popular Shakespeare Book Club. Join a passionate group of Shakespeare fans - of
all ages - for eight months of group discussions of Shakespeare's earliest works.

Whether it's your first Shakespeare play or you've been a fan of the Bard your whole life, the Book Club discussions are free of charge and open to Shakespeare fans of
all ages. Sessions are held in the Library Meeting Room of the Noah Webster Library, 20 South Main Street in West Hartford, at 7:00 p.m. on the first Monday of each month.

Shakespeare Book Club discussions focus on history; literary elements, such as story, theme and character; and theatrical staging ideas inspired by the texts. Discussions are moderated by Geoffrey Sheehan, Capital Classics artistic associate and theatre professor at Housatonic Community College.

The dates and plays of the 2017-2018 Shakespeare Book Club are:
