Literary events of note

by Drew Dir in Hyde Park

Two literary events in Hyde Park you should know about:

1. Every Wednesday, the Dean’s Men (the university’s resident Shakespeare troupe) holds court over “Shakes and Shakespeare.” Grab a $1 milkshake from the C-Shop and see a free Shakespeare performance on Bartlett Quad at high noon. UChiBLOGo has the story. The few times I’ve seen the Dean’s Men perform, I’ve always had a blast. This week: Antony and Cleopatra, part 1.

2. 57th Street Books hosts the single best thing I’ve ever heard of: the H.P. Lovecraft Memorial Ice Cream Social! “Hear tales of unspeakable horror, see (and possibly win) forbidden tomes and strange artifacts, and partake of frozen confections colder than the howling void.” This is why some of us never leave Hyde Park. Saturday, August 22nd at 2pm.
