Shakespeare, Poe, and Fiends
The Lewes Public Library Spoken Word Society welcomes Delaware Shakespeare. This favorite fall event features DelShakes artists performing selections of scenes, prose, and poetry from Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and their Gothic contemporaries, plus musical selections interspersed. As always, the evening closes with a dramatic reading of Poe’s The Raven. It is sure to fright and delight all who join!
Celebrating its twenty-fourth season, Delaware Shakespeare creates year-round professional theatre and educational programs for residents and friends of the State of Delaware. At Del Shakes, people from all walks of life celebrate and explore their shared humanity through the lens of Shakespearean work.
The Lewes Spoken Word Society (LSWS) celebrates the tradition and artistry of oral storytelling through lectures, performances, discussions, demonstrations, and other publicly-shared experiences. The LSWS is partially funded by the generous support of Browseabout Books and the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on DelawareScene.com.
Presented by Delaware Shakespeare.
