Description
Welcome to the Sip Salon where we gather to learn together through articles and discussion. No experts, just curious folks coming together to discuss topics. Whether you know a little or a lot, we hope to grow together in our understandings. With drinks.
In this month’s Sip Salon, we’ll gather to explore a deceptively simple question: Why does Shakespeare still matter? Together, we’ll read and discuss two thought-provoking articles that wrestle with Shakespeare’s enduring influence, his complicated portrayals of love and power, and the growing discomfort around how—and why—his work is taught today.
Rather than treating Shakespeare as untouchable or dismissing him outright, this conversation invites curiosity and nuance. We’ll talk about messy love, flawed characters, consent, race, and cultural power, and consider what it means to engage with classic texts critically and honestly. No expertise required—just a willingness to read closely, think together, and share perspectives over a drink.
Come sip, read, and join a thoughtful, welcoming discussion about literature, legacy, and why imperfect stories often endure the longest. No prior knowledge or expertise needed, just come ready to read and discuss with us.
