Two great things to attend

Events are still mostly on hiatus, but I have two to recommend. Both, unfortunately, are on the same night.

The first is something I am doing! On Thursday night, June 11, at 8pm, I’m leading a seminar with the Coolidge Corner Theater in Boston on Martin Scorsese’s The Age of Innocence. If you buy a ticket, you’ll watch a short lecture from me and watch the movie on your own (on the Criterion Channel or renting it elsewhere) — and then we’ll get together to do a Q&A and chat about the movie. Here’s where you can get tickets.

If you have more time that night, and want to try something different, I cannot recommend this highly enough: Theater of War is doing a production of King Lear via Zoom, with one of their signature community conversations about death and caregiving afterwards. I seriously cannot overemphasize how phenomenal these events are, and with stellar performances and the greatest discussion moderation imaginable. Seriously: if you have the time, do not miss it. (Even if you think you’ve seen Lear.)
