Shoreline Arts
Alliance in collaboration with Shakesperience Productions, Inc., the
James Blackstone Memorial Library, Evergreen Woods Retirement Community
and Guilford Free Library will be presenting the Blinding Truth Talk Tour in anticipation of this summer’s Shakespeare on the Shoreline production of King Lear.
In anticipation of this summer’s production and to engage the audience in the underlying themes found in King Lear and to understand the ‘family friendly’ interpretation of this Shakespearean tragedy we invite you to join Emily Mattina and Dr. David Richman as they tour the region to speak about their imaginative, provocative, and free production of King Lear. Presentations will take place on the following days and locations:
June 4, 3pm – James Blackstone Memorial Library, 758 Main Street, Branford
June 11, 7:30pm – Evergreen Woods Retirement Community’s Auditorium, 88 Notch Hill Road, North Branford. This venue is open to the public.
August 6, 2pm – Guilford Free Library, 63 Park Street, Guilford
Director Emily Mattina's King Lear explores the choices we make for our children and family as well as the overall welfare of children: physically, emotionally, and educationally. We explore the essence of blindness, both literally and figuratively, to our own actions, consequences and blessings. Dr. David Richman, published author, actor, director, and professor at The University of New Hampshire, stars as King Lear. Dr. Richman's real-life blindness gives a literal portrayal of the "blindness" in his character. This signature Shakesperience should not be missed!
Shakesperience strives to bring thought-provoking, relevant, theatre, rich in music, poetry, art and ideas. The annual Shakespeare program serves as a platform for significant issues facing our society and as a cultural and economic generator for our region.
