About us
Welcome to Albuquerque Shakespeare Lovers!
All of our weekly Close Reading meetings are online through Zoom. This has allowed us to meet Shakespeare Lovers from all over the world!
Our NEW Henry IV, Part 1 Close Reading Group started December 29th, 2024. If you are interested in participating on a weekly basis, please RSVP to the next event.
Our Monthly Movie Matinees will be once a month on a Saturday (online).
For the last four years, members have traveled from across the country to New Mexico to join us for our free outdoor Shakespeare festival (June/July). It's been a highlight each year! This year's plays are Othello and Much Ado About Nothing which we will plan for a back-to-back Thursday/Friday event this summer.

NEW: Close Reading - King Henry IV Part 2
·OnlineOnlineMore troubled and troubling than King Henry IV Part 1, the play continues the story of King Henry's decline and Hal's reform. Though Part 2 echoes the structure of the earlier play, it is a darker and more unsettling world, in which even Falstaff's revelry is more tired and cynical, and the once-merry Hal sloughs off his tavern companions to become King Henry V.
Our group will be reading King Henry IV, Part 2 for 2026 (February 2026-Spring 2027). We typically read from the Arden Third Series, but you are welcome to join us and read along with any edition you may have or with the Folger online edition. Our group reads line by line- discussing the text, history, and other relevant topics. Our "Close Readings" are extremely in-depth. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, everyone is welcome!
Please support our group. A donation of $2.00 is suggested for this event. Since we are not meeting in person, I ask that you "save up" your donations and make one for $24, which supports our group for half a month, or for $48, which supports our group for a full month. Thank you for your generosity!
