Save the Date for Shakespeare
Wednesday, July 11, 2018
New Castle Public Library

Join the Friends in the Community Room on Wednesday, July 11 @ 7 p.m. for a lively presentation by Linda Emerick, local resident, Friends' member, retired English teacher, and Shakespeare scholar,  on the play, Much Ado About Nothing. She will use a combination of lecture, film and live performance to enlighten and entertain the audience just in time for the opening of the Delaware Shakespeare Festival at Rockwood Mansion on July 13 thru July 29.

This play is a comedy (nobody will be dead at the end!) and it is one of the most frequently performed plays of William Shakespeare. The play features the themes of war, love, romance, infidelity, and a family feud.  Ms. Emerick will use clips from the 1993 film version, starring Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, and Michael Keaton.

One of Ms. Emerick’s former students, Eva Hiott, who grew up in New Castle will read a monologue of one of the characters, Beatrice. 

Attendance is limited to 50. To register, please sign up at the reference desk, call 302.328.1995 or email nclibraryfriends@gmail.com by July 9th.
