Coffee Connections

Fri, Oct 23, 9:00 AM
From Backstory English Bookshop - Events
4.7

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

MEDIDA POR MEDIDA, de William Shakespeare

MEDIDA POR MEDIDA, de William Shakespeare

Sun, Oct 25, 5:00 PM
From Club lector.
4.7

En esta ocasión, comentaremos Media por medida, de William Shakespeare. Vincentio, el duque de Viena, hace saber que pretende dejar la ciudad en misión diplomática dejando el gobierno en manos de un juez estricto, Angelo. Bajo el gobierno del duque, las leyes de la ciudad contra la fornicación eran laxas, pero Angelo es conocido por ser muy duro respecto a esos temas. Claudio, un joven noble, está prometido a Juliet; pero habiendo pospuesto la boda la deja embarazada antes de esta. Por ello es castigado por Angelo, y aunque está dispuesto a casarse, la sentencia es la muerte, así que su amigo Lucio visita a Isabella, la hermana de Claudio, una novicia para que interceda con Angelo y así evitar la muerte de Claudio. Una obra que habla de la corrupción del poder, la justicia, la moralidad y el perdón. IMPORTANTE: Por respeto al organizador y a los asistentes, se ruega que los que se apunten al evento pero finalmente no puedan venir, lo notifiquen dándose de baja mediante un RSVP. De lo contrario, no podréis volver en futuros eventos.
