Shakespeare Circle: The Bard and The Bear? The Winter's Tale, Part 1




Considered both comedy and romance, The Winter's Tale contains The Bard's most famous (and challenging?) stage direction: "Exit, pursued by a bear."  Join us in Second Life to listen to the play and find out what that's about!

The Shakespeare Circle at Belle Demeure is pleased to present The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare in December and January. We'll listen to and discuss Acts 1-3 December 8 at 6 PM SLT. We'll finish the play on January 12. The production is a pre-recorded audio play in the public domain. Discussion will be concurrent and following. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bushside/225/88/54
