For the 2025-2026 season of the Capital Classics “Shakespeare Book Club,” we turn to LOVE with the theme of “Shakespeare’s Famous Lovers (& Others!).” We’ll talk about Lovers we know, Lovers we think we know, and Lovers we might not know very well at all!
JOIN US IN PERSON OR ONLINE!
We're celebrating the 12th anniversary of our Shakespeare Book Club with the West Hartford Public Library!
West Hartford Public Library and the Capital Classics Theatre Company team up to bring you the Shakespeare Book Club. Join Artistic Associate and Professor of Theatre Geoffrey Sheehan in discussions of Shakespeare’s great works of theatrical literature.
The Shakespeare Book Club is now hybrid (in-person and on Zoom)! To join or for other inquiries, email [email protected]
