The Lewes Public Library Shakespeare Festival presents Matt Saltzberg, avant garde theatrical artist and instructor at Salisbury University. Saltzberg  mounted an alternative staging production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the university. True to the text but adapting inventive staging, gender-fluid casting, and other provocative ideas, Matt will speak to us of how he conceived the production and share pictures, responses, and thoughts on this and other alternative approaches to Shakespeare.

Registration is required.

The Shakespeare Festival, a program of the Lewes Public Library since 2015, seeks to provide the community with experiences that foster the understanding of Shakespeare and the world in which he lived and wrote. In addition the Festival fosters the development of new works celebrating the spoken word and hosting performances of classical texts.

The Festival is partially funded by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on DelawareScene.com. The Festival also is supported in part by Browseabout Books and the John and Sarah Freeman Foundation.
