Tutor Panel on Shakespeare: "A Monument without a Tomb"

DEAN'S LECTURE SERIES
"A Monument without a Tomb:" St. John's Celebrates Major Scenes
from Shakespeare's First Folio
TUTOR PANEL: Alison Chapman, Charlie Barrett, Krishnan Venkatesh, & Jay Smith
In his Preface to the First Folio (1623), Shakespeare's friend and fellow author Ben Jonson described the bard as a "monument without a tomb," attempting to capture Shakespeare's enduring vitality as both poet and playwright. St. John's College students know deeply the truth of these words, as the bard lives in so many parts of our campus - in our seminars, in our tutorials, and on stage in the Great Hall. In honor of the 400th anniversary of the publication of the First Folio, the Dean's Lecture Committee is pleased to present a Tutor Panel that will consider major scenes from Shakespeare's plays. The talks given by the Tutors will be in conversation with the scenes performed by Chrysostomos earlier in the week. We hope that members of the community will attend both events and bring their thoughts and reflections for the question period.
