Shakespeare Book Club: Cymbeline — "The Children Shall Lead"
Advertisement
The theme of the 2026-2027 Shakespeare Book Club — our 13th season with the West Hartford Public Library — is "TEENS MAKING SCENES — the Younger Generation in Shakespeare's Plays."
Focusing on the younger generation in several of Shakespeare's plays, we'll talk about the ways the younger generation acts, talks, feels, and especially, treats each other.
