The public is invited to participate in the Blue Hill Public Library Play Reading Group on Wednesday, April 18th from 6:30 to 9:00 PM at the library, and every 3rd Wednesday of the month until the summer. This month the group will read Lysistrata, by Aristophanes, which premiered in Athens in 411 BC. In this play, Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace in the Peloponnesian War.
The group welcomes inexperienced and experienced readers alike. The only criteria are the love of plays and the joy of reading them aloud among like-minded theater fans. For further information, contact the library at 374-5515 or Michael Donahue at 374-5248, or Donahue.mg@gmail.com.
