SUMMARY:Love’s Labors Lost\, (Part Two) ONLINE Reading - North County
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun night of reading the play directed by Martie Clark -part of our North County events!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThere will be a ZOOM link to join the reading\, available on the Online Event page or in your “My Tickets” section. Register on Eventbrite to access the link https://www.eventbrite.com/e/loves-labors-lost-part-two-online-reading-north-county-tickets-229667891847 \nTL;DR: (may contain spoilers): Four men forswear women right before four women arrive to meet them; the men change their minds. \n—- \nA bit more about the play: After vowing to avoid women\, the King and three of his friends have to host a princess and her three ladies. The four men fall in love and decide to court the women. In the end\, the women must return to their kingdom for a year after which they will marry the king and his friends\, providing they remain true to them. \n—- \nHilarious TL;DR [“too long\, didn’t read”] notes and summaries from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Photo Credits: The Old Globe \n\n\nFAQ \nQ: Do I have to read? \nA: You are welcome to show up and just watch. We suspect\, however\, that it will look like too much fun for you to resist for long. A lot of newcomers don’t want to read initially but when they see how fun it is\, they join in! But there is no pressure at all if you just want to watch and we have regular attendees who have never read. \nQ: Can I act as a specific character or be in a particular scene? \nA: That may be possible. Each evening has an assigned director who has planned what scenes to cover. If you are really anxious to act in a specific scene\, talk to the director at the start and see what can be arranged. No guarantees\, but if the scene is being done that night\, it might be possible. All scenes are cast that night right before they are read\, so usually\, everyone who wants to act has the chance to do at least a small role. \nQ: Who can participate? \nA: Everyone! They are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Macbeth\, (Part Two) ONLINE Reading - North County
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun night of reading the play directed by Kelly Harliss -part of our North County events!  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThere will be a ZOOM link to join the reading\, available on the Online Event page or in your “My Tickets” section. Register on Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/macbeth-part-two-online-reading-north-county-tickets-229649336347 \nTL;DR: (may contain spoilers): Macbeth hears that he is going to be king; he and Lady Macbeth kill people so he can become king; both of them die. \n—- \nA bit more about the play: Three witches tell the Scottish general Macbeth that he will be King of Scotland. Encouraged by his wife\, Macbeth kills the king\, becomes the new king\, and kills more people out of paranoia. Civil war erupts to overthrow Macbeth\, resulting in more death. \n—- \nHilarious TL;DR [“too long\, didn’t read”] notes and summaries from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Photo Credits: The Old Globe \n\n\nFAQ \nQ: Do I have to read? \nA: You are welcome to show up and just watch. We suspect\, however\, that it will look like too much fun for you to resist for long. A lot of newcomers don’t want to read initially but when they see how fun it is\, they join in! But there is no pressure at all if you just want to watch and we have regular attendees who have never read. \nQ: Can I act as a specific character or be in a particular scene? \nA: That may be possible. Each evening has an assigned director who has planned what scenes to cover. If you are really anxious to act in a specific scene\, talk to the director at the start and see what can be arranged. No guarantees\, but if the scene is being done that night\, it might be possible. All scenes are cast that night right before they are read\, so usually\, everyone who wants to act has the chance to do at least a small role. \nQ: Who can participate? \nA: Everyone! They are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Asian Embodiment of a White Canon: Shakespeare on Film/Stage – FREE Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free Zoom lecture with Dr. Alexa Alice Joubin\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nAfter registering on Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/asian-embodiment-of-a-white-canon-shakespeare-on-filmstage-free-lecture-tickets-222831895197 \, check the “My Tickets” section in your account to locate the Zoom link. All who register will also receive a REPLAY. \nDr. Joubin is the author of the recently published book Shakespeare in East Asia (Oxford University Press\, 2021)\, which raises such intriguing questions as: How did Kurosawa influence George Lucas’ Star Wars? Why do critics repeatedly use the adjective Shakespearean to describe Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite (2019)? How do East Asian cinema and theatre portray vocal disability and transgender figures? \nDr. Joubin will illustrate through entertaining examples how Shakespeare is connected to theatre\, film\, and literature in East Asia. Her book identifies four themes: Japanese formalistic innovations in sound and spectacle; reparative adaptations from China\, Taiwan\, and Hong Kong; the politics of gender and reception of films and touring productions in South Korea and the UK; and multilingual works in Singapore and the UK. These adaptations are reshaping debates about the relationship between East Asia and Europe\, and this book reveals deep connections among Asian and Anglophone performances. \nLearn more about her work at ajoubin.org \n— \nThe public replay will be for a limited time. SD Shakespeare Society members will have unlimited access to this talk in their account. Join today! \n\n\n\nAlexa Alice Joubin writes about race\, gender\, Shakespeare\, and film and theatre. She teaches in the Departments of English\, Women’s\, Gender and Sexuality Studies\, Theatre\, International Affairs\, and East Asian Languages and Literatures at George Washington University in Washington\, D.C.\, where she serves as founding Co-director of the Digital Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Romeo and Juliet (Part One) ONLINE Reading - North County series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun night of reading the play with our leader Doug Smith – part of our North County-led events!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThere will be a ZOOM link to join the reading\, available on the Online Event page or in your “My Tickets” section. \n\nRegister on Eventbrite at : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/romeo-and-juliet-part-one-online-reading-north-county-series-tickets-189234715127 to receive the zoom link. \n\nTL;DR: The classic story of boy meets girl; girl’s family hates boy’s family; boy’s family hates girl’s family; boy kills girl’s cousin; boy and girl kill themselves. \n—- \nA bit more about the play: An age-old vendetta between two powerful families erupts into bloodshed. A group of masked Montagues risk further conflict by gatecrashing a Capulet party. A young lovesick Romeo Montague falls instantly in love with Juliet Capulet\, who is due to marry her father’s choice\, the County Paris. With the help of Juliet’s nurse\, the women arrange for the couple to marry the next day\, but Romeo’s attempt to halt a street fight leads to the death of Juliet’s own cousin\, Tybalt\, for which Romeo is banished. In a desperate attempt to be reunited with Romeo\, Juliet follows the Friar’s plot and fakes her own death. The message fails to reach Romeo\, and believing Juliet dead\, he takes his life in her tomb. Juliet wakes to find Romeo’s corpse beside her and kills herself. The grieving family agree to end their feud. \n—- \nFAQ \nQ: Do I have to read? \nA: You are welcome to show up and just watch. We suspect\, however\, that it will look like too much fun for you to resist for long. A lot of newcomers don’t want to read initially but when they see how fun it is\, they join in! But there is no pressure at all if you just want to watch and we have regular attendees who have never read. \nQ: Can I act as a specific character or be in a particular scene? \nA: That may be possible. Each evening has an assigned director who has planned what scenes to cover. If you are really anxious to act in a specific scene\, talk to the director at the start and see what can be arranged. No guarantees\, but if the scene is being done that night\, it might be possible. All scenes are cast that night right before they are read\, so usually\, everyone who wants to act has the chance to do at least a small role. \nQ: Who can participate? \nA: Everyone! They are free and open to the public. \n—- \nHilarious TL;DR [“too long\, didn’t read”] notes and summaries from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Photo Credits: The Old Globe
