January 28, 2010. Ancient history as Comedy

If you haven't read George Bernard Shaw's play, Caesar and Cleopatra,  this is your chance. Shaw takes on the Roman Empire, the British Empire, Aestheticism, Disraeli, English fashions, and myths of womanhood, manhood, heroism, and paganism in this play.  And he does it with his usual panache.  

Shaw won both the Nobel prize and an Oscar, and this play manages serious commentary on social problems while provoking laughter at the antics of the characters.

Come join us.  If you haven't read the play, you can still enjoy listening to the discussion.  Be amused.  Be inspired.  Warm up your winter with a great English wit.
