Hagaman’s Shakespeare Reading Club will again meet to discuss their latest selection, Antony and Cleopatra. For further information, or to join the discussion, please contact Reference Librarian Chris Hemingway at either 203-468-3890 or chemingway@hagamanlibrary.org.

Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy, first performed around 1607, by the King’s Men at either the Blackfriars Theatre or the Globe Theatre. The plot is based on Thomas North’s 1579 English translation of Plutarch’s “Lives” (in Ancient Greek) and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Sicilian revolt to Cleopatra’s suicide during the War of Actium.

Extra parking for evening and weekend library events is available in the East Haven Town Hall parking lot on 250 Main Street (across the street from the library), in the KeyBank parking lot next to the library (after 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays) and in the Stop and Shop lot behind the library, accessible from Messina Drive.
