THIS READING
This evening, we kick off our out-loud reading of William Wycherley's Restoration comedy THE COUNTRY WIFE (1675). Parental discretion is advised!

IF YOU ARE NEW...
At these Zoom meetings, we take turns reading ALOUD!
If you are new to this group, please join the Zoom 15 minutes early, i.e. at 6:45 PM, for mutual introductions. Failure to do this, will very likely mean that, if we don't know you, you won't be admitted from the Zoom waiting room. We have had trouble with Zoom Bombers in the past, and would rather not repeat that experience .
CURRENT SHAKESPEARE-NIGHT SCHEDULE
Note: what follows is our "standard schedule". However, through at least August, the normal hosting schedule will be altered, due to vacations and so on.
We generally read on work on the first and third Mondays and another work on the second and fourth Mondays.
On the first and third Mondays of each month, Tom Frenkel will host.
On the second and fourth Mondays of each month, Peter Shenkin will host.
On the fifth Monday of a month (if there is one), we (SOMETIMES) hold an "open mic", where participants are encouraged to sing a song, tell a joke, read a poem, or whatever.
GENERAL INFORMATION
If you RSVP "Yes" to a Meetup, the Zoom link will be visible on the meetup.com event page.
