Reading Circle

The Reading Circle will meet at Norway House at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, February 19, to discuss Resolving Hedda,  a play by Jon Klein. Based on Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, Klein imagines a revolt by the actress who is to play Hedda She refuses to kill herself at the end of the play and she, therefore, insists on a different conclusion. 

If you plan to attend the discussion, please RSVP to Christine Meloni at reading@norwaydc.org.
