It’s too early to announce all our plans for the fall, since the program is still very much in preparation, but we can tell you that our plans include a four-session course by Humphrey Tonkin on Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night, beginning on Tuesday, September 15, with a showing of the film version directed by Trevor Nunn (with Helena Bonham Carter, Imogen Stubbs and Ben Kingsley) and ending with the Hartt School’s production of the play, directed by Robert Davis, on October 15-18. After the presentation of the film on September 15, the course will continue for three subsequent Tuesdays at 4:30 pm. The course will follow preparations for the production, with updates from director Bob Davis.
Archaeologist and historian Richard Freund will once again offer a course on Archaeology and the Bible, beginning on Wednesday, September 30 at 5:00 pm and continuing on the two following Wednesdays. Last year’s course was a sell-out.
We do not yet have dates for Catherine Stevenson’s four-session course on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, but it promises to be something of a sensation. The course will focus on the writings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Morris and will include two guest lectures – by none other than Patrick McCaughey on Pre-Raphaelite painting and Michael Lankester on the music of the period, including the work of Granville Bantock and Frederick Delius.
Kathleen McGrory will return, this time with a course on the poetry of faith and doubt. She is also talking about offering a course on Dan Brown in the spring – a figure who generates faith and doubt all by himself….
Our Fridays at the Mortensen Series will open on September 25, with subsequent sessions probably on October 16, November 13, and December 4.
We hope to announce the full program soon.
