The Gibson's Book Club makes a point to read Shakespeare at least once a year, and this year is no exception. This month we read and discuss A Midsummer Night's Dream, by William Shakespeare. Many of us haven't read or seen the play since our school days, and revisiting it with older and wiser eyes, with an appreciation for the bouncing rhythm of Shakespeare's poetic voice, will be a new experience for an old classic.
Our book club is free and open to the public, newcomers are encouraged to try us out! Club books are chosen democratically by the participants; they've chosen an eclectic, ambitious list of books for the coming year: join us for every meeting, or deal yourself in as the spirit moves you.
In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare stages the workings of love. Theseus and Hippolyta, about to marry, are figures from mythology.
