Event Description
Join the discussion of By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult, our Fact or Fiction Book Club selection for February. Pick up a copy at the Highland Branch.
Summary: "In 1581, Emilia Bassano - like most young women of her day - is allowed no voice of her own. But as the Lord Chamberlain's mistress, she has access to all theatre in England, and finds a way to bring her work to the stage secretly. And yet, creating some of the world's greatest dramatic masterpieces comes at great cost - by paying a man for the use of his name, she will write her own out of history. In the present, playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. Although the challenges are different 400 years later, the playing field is still not level for women in theatre. Would Melina - like Emilia - be willing to forfeit her credit as author, just for a chance to see her work performed?"
