Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Are you scared of Shakespeare? Bothered by the Bard's vocabulary? Put off by the poetry in his plays? The works of this Elizabethan playwright are easier to read and understand than you think. Join Patti Arrison for a six-week discussion group that will put your fears to rest -- except for those aroused by Macbeth! This story of magic, murder, and mayhem is perfect for dark fall nights. We will read one act a week, beginning with a brief introduction to iambic pentameter and ending with a movie night. Copies of the play are available at the library and sign up is encouraged, but not required.
Thurs Oct 23 @ 6:30 - Martin Memorial Hall
A Vermont Humanities Program
Arming the Union: Vermont Gunmakers and the Technology that Shaped America
During the Civil War, the Union army fielded more than two million men, most of them armed with newly-made, highly accurate rifles. How did the North produce all of those weapons in such a short time? What impact did the new rifles have on the conduct and outcome of the war? Then after the war, how did the new manufacturing technology change American life and popular culture? In this illustrated lecture, historian and museum curator Carrie Brown explores the critical role that Windsor, Vermont, played in producing technology that won the war and changed American life.
Sat Oct 25 @ Noon - 1:30
