Milt Commons Shakespeare: "Henry VI, Part 1"

Join us in reading Shakespeare plays out loud; no prior experience needed. We assign roles by scenes, and discuss the scenes after.

You only need a copy of the play to participate; we use the Folger's online version: https://shakespeare.folger.edu/shakespeares-works

We will commence or resume our reading of our current play from where we left off the previous week.

***
We are temporary suspending our viewing of a performance of the play at 9pm. We will resume when we reach Part 2 of Henry VI.

The Shakespeare readings are named in honor of our long-time participant, Milt Commons.

Late-comers, unless we know you, will generally not be admitted, as it disrupts the reading. However, it's fine for attendees to drop off at any time they want.
