SUMMARY:Romeo and Juliet
DESCRIPTION:The World’s A Stage Players\, Concord Players’ dedicated Shakespeare Troupe\, presents the classic story of star crossed lovers. Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy gets a 1980’s reimagining as two young lovers find themselves caught between rival families in a deeply divided community. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested\, Romeo and Juliet must navigate love\, identity\, and the expectations placed upon them.

SUMMARY:Women in the Age of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:What is freedom? How do we win it? And if it comes – how will we use it? \nJoin scholar\, Lakshmi Bose\, and classical actress\, Poornima Kirby\, for an inspiring exploration of women’s writings and conversations across the age of revolutions – a 70+ year period spanning movements in America\, France and Haiti. Some women fought on the front lines (even loading the cannons!)\, some ran businesses – and in the aftermath of revolution\, some demanded new rights while others encouraged each other to ‘return’ to the home. These conversations were passionate\, varied and contradictory – What does freedom look like for women after monarchy? Should it depend on education\, birth or race? Many of these women declared otherwise – wanting a taste of the freedom they had helped win – even if they were not sure how it could look! Join us as Lakshmi maps a fascinating path through the shape of these revolutions while Poornima leaps in to voice the pamphlets\, letters\, songs and speeches of the women who shaped them. By turns playful\, touching and invigorating\, this combined lecture and theatrical recitation is a thrilling ride through fiery times! \n********* \nLakshmi’s Bio: \nLakshmi Bose (Phd) is an independent artist and former lecturer in political sociology at the University of Cambridge\, where she remains a consultant at the Hannah Arendt Consortium on Crisis and Political Transformation. She works across a variety of mediums\, including theatre\, film\, and visual arts to foster nuanced public conversations around philosophy\, politics\, and social transformation. She also writes and illustrates non-fiction political comics based on her original research on revolution (see The Sociological Review\, Green European Journal). As a facilitator\, she has led a variety of workshops across the UK\, South Africa\, and Europe focusing on preserving oral histories of marginalised groups. \nhttps://sites.google.com/view/lakshmibose/home \n********** \nPoornima Kirby’s Bio: \nPoornima Kirby is a classically trained actress\, writer and director\, specializing in classical and poetic texts\, as well as co-created theater. She studied drama at Vassar College\, and trained in acting and Shakespeare performance at Shakespeare & Co. and London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Her regional theater credits include Sleep no More with the A.R.T.\, Hamlet with Actors Shakespeare Project\, Daughters of Venus with Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater\, and Much Ado about Nothing with Bay Colony Shakespeare. She has also appeared in several independent films\, commercials\, industrials and voice-overs\, and has worked as a teaching artist in the Boston Public Schools and Tufts Medical Center. She is Artistic Director for Theatre of Eternal Values – America (a branch of an Italy-based international company) where she has written\, directed and performed in several original productions. She is passionate about bringing live theatre directly to audiences where they live\, work and play!
